This is more of a Quantitative reasoning question
We have 3 divisions spending 4% , 35% , 2% of their budget on marketing respectively.
A. The consumer products division spent more on marketing in 2008 than the chemicals and machinery divisions combined. -
We do not know the individual budget. What if the consumer products have budget of $100 and the chemical division has a budget of $10000.B. Consumers are more swayed by marketing than are the mostly corporate buyers of chemicals and machinery. -
Out of scope. Consumer preference is not discussed anywhere.C. On average, all three divisions combined spent less than 35% of their 2008 budgets on marketing. -
Yes. Let's say all have same budget $1000. hence the total expense will be 40 + 350 + 20 = 410 out of 3000. That is less than 35%. You can try any values. It will be true always.D. The company’s overall spending on marketing is between 4% and 35%. -
No. What about other divisions than these 3?E. The chemicals division spent 100% more on marketing in 2008 than did the machinery division. -
No individual budget is given.
