    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Average sales (in thousand number) of branches B1, B3 and B6 in 2000

          =  \( \frac { 1 } { 3 } \) x ( 80+95+70)= [\( \frac { 245 } { 3 } \) ] 

    Average sales (in thousand number) of branches B1, B2 and B3 in 2001

         = \( \frac { 1 } { 3 } \) x (105+65+110)= [ \( \frac { 280 } { 3 } \) ] 

    Therefore Required percentage = [ \(\frac { 245/3 } { 2 80/3} \) x 100 ] % = [ \(\frac { 240 } { 280 } \) x 100 ] % = 87.5%
