Directions( Q 1-5): Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Five members of a family viz. Mr. Rahul, his wife Sushmita, their two children Varnali and Vishal and their daughter-in-law monika spent different amount from their respective salaries in a month. The total expenditure of the family per month is Rs. 3,30,000 which is 75% of the total income of the family per month. Sushmita’s saving is 1/3rd of the savings of her daughter-in-law who earns Rs. 60,000 a month and spent 60% of her salary. The salary earned by Varnali is the highest in the family i.e. Rs. 1,20,000 per month and her expenditure is twice the expenditure of Monika. Sushmita saves 10% of her income and her husband saves 20% of his income. Mr. Rahul earns Rs. 90,000 per month. The total saving of the family is Rs. 1,10,000.
Solution (1-5) :
Total Expenditure = 3,30,000
Total Savings = 1,10,000
75% = 3,30,000
100% = 3,30,000 × (100/75) = 4,40,000
Total Income = 4,40,000
Monika’s Income = 60,000
Monika’s Expenditure = 60,000 × (60/100) = 36,000
Monika’s Saving = (60,000 – 36,000) = 24,000
Sushmita’s Saving =(1/3) × 24,000 = 8,000
Varnali’s Income = 1,20,000
Varnali’s Expenditure = 2 × 36,000 = 72,000
Varnali’s Saving = (1,20,000 – 72,000) = 48,000
10% = 8,000
100% = 80,000
Sushmita’s Income = 80,000
Sushmita’s Expenditure = (80,000 – 8,000) = 72,000
Rahul’s Income = 90,000
Rahul’s Saving = (20/100) × 90,000 = 18,000
Rahul’s Expenditure = (90,000 – 18,000) = 72,000
Vishal’s Income = 4,40,00 = 90,000
Vishal’s Saving = 1,10,00 – (24,000 + 8,000 + 48,000 + 18,000) = 12,000
Vishal’s Expenditure = (90,000 – 12,000) = 78,000
| Members | Income | Expenditure | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mr.Rahul | 90,000 | 72,000 | 18,000 |
| Sushmita | 80,000 | 72,000 | 8,000 |
| Varnali | 1,20,000 | 72,000 | 48,000 |

Que 6. The distance between the two trains is 150 km and moving in the opposite direction on the same track. The speed of one train is 65 km/hr and the speed of another train is 55 km/hr. A bird starts flying at a speed of 60 km/hr at the location of the faster train. When it reaches the slower train, it turns around and flies in the opposite direction at the same speed. When it reaches the faster train again it turns around and so on. When the train collide, how far has the bird flown (in km)?
A) 50
B) 65
C) 75
D) 64
E) None of these
Answer : C
Explanation :
Distance between two trains = 150 km
Since both the trains are running in opposite directions, so
Relative speed = (65 + 55) = 120 km/hr
They collide each other in = 150/120 hours = 1.25 hours
The bird covered distance in 1.25 hours = 60 × 1.25 = 75 km
The Bird flew 75 km.
Here the correct option is C.
Que 7. Chemical mixtures X consist of chemicals A and B in ratio of 1:3, Chemical Y consist of chemicals A and B in ratio of 3:2. Chemical X Is present in vessel whose capacity is 2/5 times that of vessel in which chemical Y is present. Both the chemicals X and Y are mixed in a large container. What is % of concentration is present in final mixture as A?
A) 30%
B) 40%
C) 50%
D) 60%
E) None of these
Answer : C
Explanation :
Chemical X = (2/5) × Chemical Y
(Chemical X)/(Chemical Y) = 2/5
Let Chemical X = 2P and Chemical Y = 5P
Total quantity in final mixture =(2P + 5P) = 7P
Parts of A in Chemical X = 2P × (1/4) = P/2
Parts of A in Chemical Y = 5P × (3/5) = 3P
Parts of A in final mixture = (P/2 + 3P) = 7P/2
Required percentage = [(7P/2)/7P] × 100 % = 50%
The 50% concentration is present in the final mixture as A.
Here the correct option is C.
Que 8. Income of Karan is Rs.x and income of Arjun is Rs.y. Expenditure on food by both is 10% of their income. The expenditure on entertainment by Karan is twice the expenditure on food. The saving of Karan is Rs.35,000. Expenditure on entertainment by Arjun is Rs.12,000. The saving of Arjun is 75% of his income. Find their income?
A) Rs.72,000 & Rs.50,000
B) Rs.80,000 & Rs.50,000
C) Rs.80,000 & Rs.65,000
D) Rs.70,000 & Rs.45,000
E) None of these
Answer : B
Explanation :
For Karan :
Income = Rs. x
Expenditure on food = x × (10/100) = x/10
Expenditure on entertainment = 2x/10 = x/5
Saving = x – (x/10 + x/5)
According to the question,
x – (x/10 + x/5) = 35000
=> 10x – x – 2x = 350000
=> 7x = 350000
x = 50,000
∴ Income of Karan = 50,000
For Arjun :
Income = y
Saving = y × (75/100) = 3y/4
Expenditure on food = y × (10/100) = y/10
Expenditure on entertainment = 12,000
Saving = y – (y/10 + 12000)
Now,
3y/4 = y – (y/10 + 12000)
=> y – y/10 – 3y/4 = 12000
=> 20y – 2y – 15y = 12000 × 20
=> 3y = 240000
y = 80,000
Income of Arjun =80,000
Income of Karan =50,000
Here the correct option is B.
Que 9. A, B and C invest together in business wherein they receive profit of Rs 63,000. A reinvests his share of profit in a scheme giving 10% rate of interest compounded annually after two years and B reinvests his share of profit which gives him 20% rate of interest compounded annually at end of two years. If interest received by A and B after 2 years is Rs 3969 and Rs 8316 then find compound interest earned by C if he reinvests his share in same scheme as A did for 2 years.
A) Rs.5292
B) Rs.5590
C) Rs.4650
D) Rs.6570
E) None of these
Answer : A
Explanation :
Let A’s investment in a scheme = Rs. 100
Rate = 10%
Now,
Amount = 100 × ( 1 + .10)²
=> Amount = 121
C.I = (121-100) = 21
21 unit = 3969
100 unit = (3969/21) × 100 = 18,900
Investment of A in a scheme = Rs.18,900
Let B’s investment in a scheme = 100
Rate = 20%
Amount = 100 × (1 + 0.2)²
=> Amount = 144
C.I = (144 – 100) = 44
44 unit = 8316
100 unit = (8316/44) × 100 = Rs.18,900
Investment of B = Rs.18,900
Profit share of C = 63000 – (2 × 18900) = Rs.25200
Amount of C = 25200 × 1.10 × 1.10 = 30492
Interest = (30492 – 25200) = 5292
∴ Interest earned by C = Rs.5292
Here the correct option is A.
Que 10. Kiran sells two types of milk. In the first type of milk, there is 40% milk is present and the rest is water, whereas, in the second types only 40% water is present. He takes 30 litres and 20 litres of mixture from both types respectively. What is the percentage of milk present in the new mixture?
A) 36%
B) 25%
C) 48%
D) 72%
E) None of these
Answer : C
Explanation :
For first type :
Milk = 40% and Water = 60%
Milk present in 30 litres of mixture = 30 × (40/100) = 12 litres
For the 2nd type :
Water = 40% and Milk = 60%
Milk present in 20 litres of mixture = 20 × ( 60/100) = 12 litres
After adding first type and second type mixture ,the total mixture = (30 + 20) = 50 litres
Pure milk in the final mixture = (12 + 12) = 24 L
Required percentage = (24/50) × 100 = 48%
The percentage of milk present in the new mixture is =48%
Here the correct option is C.

=> (25% of 250 × 4) + (21% of 300 – 50) = ? – 20% of 40
=> {(25/100) × 250 × 4} + {(21/100) × 300 – 50)} = ? – (20/100) × 40
=> 250 + 63 – 50 = ? – 8
=> ? = 263 + 8
∴ ? = 271
The required approx value =271

Que 16. The following question are accompanied by three statements (I), (II) and (III). You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the following question.
There are four members P, Q, R, and S partners in the business. What is the profit share of Q?
I: P and Q started the business with an investment of Rs x and Rs 3x respectively and after 6 months, R and S joined them with an investment of Rs. (x + 5000) and Rs. 4x respectively.
II: At the end of the year profit share of R is Rs. 16000.
III: At the end of one year, the profit ratio of R and S is 1:3.
A) Only II and III
B) Any two of them
C) Only I and II
D) All of them
E) None
Answer : D
Explanation :
Profit = Investment × Time
Statement I :
Profit ratio of P, Q, R and S = x × 12 : 3x × 12 : (x + 5000) × 6 : 4x × 6 = 12x : 36x : (x + 5000) × 6 : 24x
From statement I, we do not know the value of x, so Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Statement II and III:
The profit share of R = Rs.16000
Profit ratio of R and S = 1 : 3
Now, (6x + 30000)/24x = 1/3
=> 18x + 90,000 = 24x
=> 6x = 90,000
=> x = 15,000
Profit ratio = (12 × 15000) : (36 × 15000) : (6 × 15000 + 30000) : (24 × 15000)
= 12 : 36 : 8 : 24
= 3 : 9 : 2 : 6
Here 2 unit = 16000
=> 9 unit = (16000/2) × 9 = Rs.72,000
All statements are necessary to answer the question.
Here the correct option is D.
Que 17. The given question consists of 2 statements, I and II respectively. Please read the questions carefully and decide which of the statement (s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the question.
Find the ratio of spirit and water in the new mixture if the content of the two containers is mixed.
I: Two equal containers contain spirit and water in the ratio of 2:3 and 4: 5 respectively. Both the mixtures are mixed and formed a new mixture.
II: Containers contain 10 L and 12 L spirit respectively.
A) The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement Il alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
B) The data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
C) Either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
D) The data in both the statements I and II are not sufficient to answer the questions.
E) The data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer.
Answer : A
Explanation :
Spirit in first container = 2/5
Water in first container = 3/5
Spirit in 2nd container = 4/9
Water in 2nd container = 5/9
Total Spirit in new mixture = (2/5 + 4/9) =38/45
Total water in new mixture =(3/5 + 5/9) =52/45
Ratio of Spirit and water in new mixture
= 38/45 : 52/45 = 19 : 26
∴ The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement Il alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Here the correct option is A.
Que 18. The following question are accompanied by three statements (1), (II) and (III). You have to determine which statements(s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the following question.
Sandeep and Prateek are travelling toward each other at certain speeds from point A and point B respectively. At what time will both meet each other at point C if both start travelling at 3:00 pm?
1. Sandeep takes 4 hours to reach point B from point C while Prateek takes 9 hours to reach point A from point C.
II. Distance between point A and point B is 1200 km, and the ratio of the speed of Sandeep and Prateek is 2:3.
III. The difference between the speed of Sandeep and Prateek is 40 km/hr.
A) Only I is sufficient to answer
B) Only II and III are sufficient to answer
C) Either I or II and III together are sufficient to answer
D) All are necessary to answer
E) None of them is sufficient to answer
Answer : C
Explanation :
From Statement I :
Let, Speed of Sandeep = M km/hr and Speed of Prateek = N km/hr
Time taken by them to meet each other = T hrs
Sandeep takes 4 hours to reach point B from point C while Prateek takes 9 hours to reach point A from point C.
Distance between A to C = 9N km
Distance between B to C = 4M km
We know, Time = Distance/Speed
So,
9N/M = T ——–(1)
4M/N = T ———(2)
Multiplying (1) and (2) , we get
T² = (9N/M) × (4M/N)
=> T² = 36
=> T = 6 hours
(3 pm + 6 hours) = 9 pm
Sandeep and Prateek both will meet each other at 9 pm.
Statement alone is sufficient to answer the question.
From Statement II and III :
Distance = 1200 km
Let Speed of Sandeep and Prateek be 2P and 3P respectively.
Both are moving opposite direction to each other .
So relative speed = (2P + 3P) = 5P
Time taken to meet each other = 1200/5P
Statement II alone is not sufficient.
From Statement III,
Difference between the speed of Sandeep and Prateek is 40 km/hr
(3P-2P) = 40
=> P = 40 km/hr
Speed of Sandeep = 2 × 40 = 80 km/hr
Speed of Prateek = 3 × 40 = 120 km/hr
Relative speed = (80 + 120) = 200 km/hr
Time taken to meet each other = 1200/200 =6 hour
(3 pm + 6) = 9 pm
Statement II and III together are sufficient to answer the question.
∴ Either I or II and III together are sufficient to answer.
Here the correct option is C.
Que 19. Each question below is followed by two statements I and II. You have to determine whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose the best possible answer.
What is the amount received by Shimona?
1. Samarth and Shimona started a business with an investment in the ratio of 5: 4. After 4 months Sujoy joined their business with an amount 20% more than that of Samarth after 2 more months Shimona took out 25% of her investment. The total profit obtained after the end of year is Rs.25000.
II. Samarth invested Rs.7000 more than that of Shimona. Sujoy invested 9000 more than Samarth and the difference between the profit earned by them is Rs.2000.
A) The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement Il alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
B) The data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
C) Either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
D) The data in both the statements I and II are not sufficient to answer the questions.
E) The data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer.
Answer : A
Explanation :
Statement I :
Let investment of Samarth and Shimona be 5P and 4P respectively.
Investment of Sujoy = 5P × (120/100) = 6P
Ratio of profit share of Samarth, Shimona and Sujoy = (5P × 12) : [(4P × 6) + (4P × (75/100) × 6] : (6P × 8) = 60P : 42P : 48P = 10 : 7 : 8
Total profit = Rs.25,000
Amount received by Shimona = 25000 × (7/25) = 7000
Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
From Statement II :
Let investment of Shimona = X
Investment of Samarth = (X + 7000)
Investment of Sujoy = (X + 7000) + 9000 =X+16000
Difference between the profit earned by them is Rs.2000.
Here Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
∴ The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement Il alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Here the correct option is A.
Que 20. Priyanka and Kailash Invested Rs.3000 together. Priyanka invested her amount at compound Interest for ‘x/10’ years at x% rate interest and Kailash invested half of his amount at compound interest and remaining half at simple interest at the same rate of interest for the same time period. [It is given that ‘x/10’ is a natural number] What is the value of ‘x’?
Statement I: Ratio of investment of Priyanka and Kailash is 1:2 respectively and total sum received by them together after a particular time at x% rate of interest is Rs. 4280.
Statement II: Simple interest received by kailash is Rs. 40 less than compound interest received by his.
Statement III: Sum of simple interest and compound interest received by Kailash after a certain time at x% rate of interest is Rs. 2500 Which of the above statement is redundant to find the answer of the given question?
A) Only Statement I alone
B) Only Statement II alone
C) Only Statement III alone
D) Only either statement I and II together or statement II and III together.
E) None of these
Answer : E
Explanation :
Let Amount invested by Kailash = M
Investment of Priyanka = (3000 – M)
CI for Priyanka =(3000 – M) × [1 + (x/100)^(x/10) – 1]
CI for Kailash =M/2 × x ×(X/10)/100= x²M/2000
statement I :
let time = t years
Investment of Kailash (M) = (2/3) × 3000 =2000
Investment of Priyanka = (3000 – 2000) = 1000
CI for Priyanka = 1000 × [1 + (x/100)^t – 1]
CI for Kailash = 1000 × x × [1 + (x/100)^t – 1]
SI for Kailash = (1000 × x × t)/100 = 10xt
According to question,
(4280 – 3000) = 1000×[1+(x/100)^t – 1] + 1000 × x × [1+(x/100)^t – 1] + 10xt
In this equation, there are two variables.so we can not find the value of x.
Statement II :
According to statement II,
40 = (M/2)[{1 + (x/100)^(x/10) – 1} – (x²/1000)]
from this equation we can not find the value of x.
Statement III:
Let time = T years
SI + CI = 2500
2500 = [(M/2) × x × T]/100 + [ (M/2) × {1 + (x/100)^T – 1]
From this equation we can not find the value of x.
∴ In statement I,II and III we found four unknown variables ( M, t , x and T) .So we can not find the value of x.
Here the correct option is E.
Direction (21-23) : Read the data given in paragraph carefully and answer the question. The paragraph given below shows the information about a milkman who has five vessels A, B, C, D and E out of which volume of A, B and C is 30 liters each and volume of vessels of D and E is 50 liters each. Cost of pure milk is Rs. 40 per liter and the cost of water is 0. In each vessel, a milkman has a mixture of milk and water. When the milkman sold the mixture from vessel A at Rs. 50 per liter he earned a total profit of 50%. Quantity of water in vessel B is 240% of the quantity of water in vessel A. Total profit earned by milkman when he sold the mixture from vessel D at the cost of pure milk is (300/7)% and total loss occurred to milkman when he sold the mixture from vessel E at Rs. 25.2 per liter is 25%. Total quantity of pure milk in vessel C is one-third of the total quantity of pure milk in vessel B and vessel E together.
Solution (21 – 23) :
For Vessel A :
Let Pure milk in vessel A = x litres
Water = (30 – x) litres
Cost price = 40x
Selling price = 30 × 50 = 1500
Profit = (1500 – 40x )
Profit % = [(1500 – 40x)/40x] * 100
According to question,
[(1500 – 40x)/40x] * 100 = 50
=> (1500 – 40x)/40x = 50/100
=> 3000 – 80x = 40x
=> 120x = 3000
=> x = 25
Quantity of pure milk in vessel A = 25 litres
Quantity of water in vessel A = (30-25) = 5 litres
For Vessel B :
Water = 240% of 5 = (240/100) × 5 = 12 litres
Milk = (30 – 12) = 18 litres
For Vessel D :
Let Quantity of Pure milk = y
Water = (50 – y)
Cost price = 40y
Selling price = 50×40 = 2000
Profit % = [(2000 – 40y)/40y] × 100
According to question,
[(2000 – 40y)/40y] × 100 = 300/7
=> (50 – y)/y = 300/700
=> 350 – 7y = 3y
=> 10y = 350
=> y = 35
Quantity of milk = 35 litres
Quantity of water = (50-35) = 15 litres
For Vessel E :
Let Quantity of pure milk = z
Water = (50 – z)
Cost price = 40z
Selling price = (50 × 25.2) = 1260
Loss % = [(40z – 1260)/40z] × 100
According to question,
[(40z – 1260)/40z] × 100 = 25
=> (2z – 63)/2z = 25/100
=> 8z – 252 = 2z
=> 6z = 252
=> Z = 42
Quantity of milk = 42 litres
Quantity of water = (50-42) = 8 litres
For Vessel C :
Quantity of pure milk = (1/3) × (18 + 42) =20 L
Quantity of water = (30 – 20) = 10 litres
| Vessel |
Total Quantity |
Milk | Water |
Ratio Milk : Water |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 30 | 25 | 5 | 5 : 1 |
| B | 30 | 18 | 12 | 3 : 2 |
| C | 30 | 20 | 10 | 2 : 1 |
| D | 50 | 35 | 15 | 7 : 3 |
| E | 50 | 42 | 8 | 21 : 4 |
Que 21. Milkman sold 3 litres mixture from vessel C and added the same amount of water, next time he sold 5 litres from the same vessel and added the same amount of water to it.

A) 2 : 3
B) 7 : 8
C) 8 : 7
D) 5 : 3
E) None of these
Answer : B
Explanation :
Quantity of pure milk after replacement= 20 × (1 – 3/30) × (1 – 5/30) × (1 – 2/30)= 20 × (27/3) × (25/30) × (28/30) = 14 litres
Quantity of water after replacement = (30-14) =16 litres
Required ratio = 14 : 16 = 7 : 8
Here the correct option is B.
Que 22. If milkman mixes the mixture of vessel B with mixture of vessel E and sells this mixture at cost price of pure milk, then what is the profit percent of milkman?
A) 24â…–%
B) 33â…“%
C) 16â…”%
D) 45¼%
E) None of these
Answer : B
Explanation :
Quantity of milk in Vessel B and E together =(18 + 42) = 60 litres
Quantity of water in Vessel B and E together = (12 + 8) = 20 litres
Here profit = Quantity of water
Profit % = (20/60) × 100 = 33(⅓) %
Required profit percentage =33(â…“) %
Here the correct option is B.
Que 23. If the milkman uses the same cane to measure milk, once from vessel A and once from vessel D, then what is the amount of pure milk purchased by the customer out of 3 litres mixture?
A) 1.2 litres
B) 2.3 litres
C) 1.5 litres
D) 2.2 litres
E) None of these
Answer : B
Explanation :
Ratio of Milk and water in vessel A= 5 : 1
Ratio of milk and water in vessel D = 7 : 3
Milk in vessel A = 5/6
Milk in vessel D = 7/10
Here the milkman using the same cane to measure so that its ratio be same i.e, 1 : 1 .
Let part of milk in the mixture purchased by customer = p
Applying the allegation method,
(5/6) (7/10)
p
1 1
=>(7/10) – p =1 =>p – (5/6) = 1
Now,
(7/10) – p = p – (5/6)
=> 2p = (7/10) + (5/6)
=> 2p = 46/30
=> p = 23/30
∴ Amount of pure milk in the mixture purchased by customer = 3 × (23/30) = 2.3 litres.
Here the correct option is B.

Capital ratio of them
= [(50000 × 12) + (50000 + 10000) × 12] : [(60000 × 7) + (60000 – 5000) × 12]
= (600000 + 720000) : (420000 + 660000)
= 11 : 9
Let total profit = x
Half of the total profit = x/2
Equally they both get = x/4
Saima got from her investment ratio = (x/2) × (11/20) = 11x/40
According to question,
x/4 + 11x/40 = 42,000
=> 21x/40 = 42000
=> x = 80,000
∴ Total profit earned by them = Rs.80,000

Que 37. A broadband provider marks up the cost price of an internet plan by 50% and offers a discount of 20%. He asks the customer to pay GST of 18% on the selling price. The customer refuses to pay the tax due to which the provider himself pays the GST. Find his profit or loss percentage.
A) 2â…—% Loss
B) 1â…—% Profit
C) 2â…—% Profit
D) No profit no loss
E) 1â…—% Lose
Answer : E
Explanation :
Let cost price of the internet plan = x
Marked price = x × (150/100) = 3x/2
Selling price = (3x/2) × (80/100) = 6x/5
After paid 18% paid by the provider on selling price,
Selling price = (6x/5) × (82/100) = 123x/125
Loss = x – (123x/125) = 2x/125
Loss % = {(2x/125)/x} × 100 = 1⅗%
Required loss percentage = 1â…—%

A) 55 days
B) 66 days
C) 59 days
D) 69 days
E) 60 days
Answer : B
Explanation :
(3M + 4B) × 7 = (5M + 3B) × 6
=> 21M + 28B = 30M + 18B
=> 9M = 10B
Now,
3 Men = 10/3 boys
3 Men + 4 boys = (10/3 + 4) boys = 22/3 boys
1 man + 2 boys = (10/9 + 2) boys = 28/9 days
22/3 boys complete the work in 7 days
1 boy complete the work = 7 × (22/3) days
28/9 boys complete the work = 7 × (22/3) × (9/28) = 66/4 days
28/9 boys complete the 4 times of the total work in = (66/4) × 4 = 66 days
∴ Required time = 66 days

Que 45. If a new person is D, and his working days are equal to leave days of C and working hours are 4 more than working hours of C, then find the income of D(in Rs.)
A) 154500
B) 125600
C) 130000
D) 175900
E) 150000
Answer : A
Explanation :
Working days of D = leave days of C = 14
Working hours of D = (8 + 4) = 12 hours
Leave days of D = (61 – 14) = 47 days
Income = (47 × 1500) + (12 × 14 × 500) = 154,500
The required income of D =Rs.154,500
Here the correct option is A.
Directions (46-50) : Study the chart carefully and the questions that follow.
The pie charts show the distribution of the total number of cookies sold by companies A, B, C, and D and the distribution of chocolate flavor cookies sold by companies A, B, C, and D respectively. Also, Total Cookies = Chocolate Cookies + Butterscotch flavor cookies. Number of Butterscotch flavor cookies sold by A = 110
Number of Butterscotch flavor cookies sold by B = 30
Solution (46-50) :
From pie chart I,
(N + 5) + N + (N + 20) + 2N = 100
=> 5N + 25 = 100
=> N = 15
From pie chart II,
M + 20 + (M + 10) + 40 = 100
=> 2M + 70 = 100
=> M = 15
Let, Total number of cookies sold = x
Cookies sold by A = (15+5) = 20% of total cookies
Total number of cookies sold by A = (20/100) × x = x/5
Total number of Butterscotch flavor cookies sold by A = 110
Therefore, Total number of Chocolate flavor cookies sold by A = (x/5 – 110)
Let, Total number of Chocolate flavor cookies sold = P
According to question,
(x/5 – 110) = (15/100) × P ——–(1)
Total number of cookies sold by B = (15/100) × x = 3x/20
Total number of Butterscotch flavor cookies sold by B = 30
Total number of Chocolate flavor cookies sold by B = (3x/20 – 30)
According to question,
(3x/20 – 30) = (20/100) × P ———-(2)
Multiplying equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 4 and then subtracting them, we get
(3x/5 – 330) – (3x/5 – 120) = 45P/100 – 20P/25
=> – 210 = – 35P/100
=> P = 210 × (100/35)
=> P = 600
Total number of Chocolate flavor cookies sold = 600
Chocolate flavor cookies sold by A = 600 × (15/100) = 90
Chocolate flavor cookies sold by B = 600 × (20/100) = 120
Chocolate flavor cookies sold by C = 600 × (25/100) = 150
Chocolate flavor cookies sold by D. = 600 × (40/100) = 240
Total cookies = Butterscotch Cookies + Chocolate cookies
Total cookies sold by A = (110 + 90) = 200
From the total cookies chart,
200 = (20/100) × total number of cookies
=> Total number of cookies = 1000
Cookies sold by A = 200
Cookies sold by B = (120 + 30) = 150
Cookies sold by C = (35/100) × 1000 = 350
Cookies sold by D = (30/100) × 1000 = 300
Chocolate cookies sold by C = (25/100) × 600 = 150
Chocolate cookies sold by D = (40/100) × 600 = 240
Butterscotch sold by C = (350 – 150) = 200
Butterscotch Sold by D = (300 – 240) = 60
