August Red EV Sales Calculation

The question asks us to find the specific number of Red Electric Vehicles (EVs) that were sold during the month of August. The provided table gives us cumulative sales data, meaning the total sales from the beginning up to a certain point in time, rather than sales for that specific month alone. To determine the sales for August, we need to use the cumulative figures provided for August and the preceding month, July.

Determining August Sales Figures

We need to extract the relevant cumulative sales data for Red EVs from the table:

• Cumulative number of Red EVs sold till August: 1032
• Cumulative number of Red EVs sold till July: 816

To calculate the number of Red EVs sold specifically in August, we subtract the cumulative sales up to July from the cumulative sales up to August. This difference represents the sales that occurred only within the month of August.

The calculation is performed as follows:

Number of Red EVs sold in August = (Cumulative Red EVs sold till August) - (Cumulative Red EVs sold till July)

Using LaTeX for the mathematical expression:

Number of Red EVs sold in August = $1032 - 816$

Performing the subtraction:

$1032 - 816 = 216$

Therefore, 216 Red EVs were sold in August. This matches option 4.
