Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions based on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The table given below shows the partial information about the number of bags manufactured by the companies P, Q, R, S and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

T. They manufactured Sports bags and office bags. The type of bags is further categorized into mid-range and Heavy range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total number of bags = Sports bags + office bags<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sports bags = Mid-range + Heavy range Office bags = Mid-range + Heavy range<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1) If the value of [D] is 9824 which is 576 less than [C], find the total number of bags manufactured by the company Q.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. 28400<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. 24000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. 25600<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

D. 30000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E. None of these<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the total number of bags manufactured by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the company Q= 100a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of office bags in company Q = 65% of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100a = 65a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of sports bags in company Q = 100a \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

65a = 35a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of mid-range office bags manufactured<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by company Q = 9824 + 576 = 10400<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, number of heavy range office bags<\/p>\n\n\n\n

manufactured by company Q = 65a \u2013 10400<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of heavy range sports bags<\/p>\n\n\n\n

manufactured by company Q = 40% of 35a =<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(65a \u2013 10400) + 14a = 9824<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Value of a = 20224\/79 = 256<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, total number of bags manufactured by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

company Q = 256 x 100 = 25600<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the answer is option C<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) For company P, if the value of [A] % is 72%, then the total number of mid-range bags is approximately how much percent of that of heavy range bags?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. 135%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. 138%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. 131%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D. 133%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

E. 140%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For company P,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the total number of bags manufactured =<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of office bags manufactured = 72% of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100a = 72a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of sports bags manufactured = 100a \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

72a = 28a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of mid-range office bags = 50% of 72a =<\/p>\n\n\n\n

36a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of heavy range office bags = 72a \u2013 36a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 36a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of mid-range sports bags = 75% of 28a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 21a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of heavy range sports bags = 28a \u2013 21a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 7a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Required % = [(36a + 21a) \/ (36a + 7a)] x 100 =<\/p>\n\n\n\n

132.5%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, answer is option D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) If the value of E is (600\/11) %, then, find the difference between the total number of mid-range bags manufactured by company R and the number of mid-range office bags manufactured by company T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. 3744<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. 3474<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. 3764<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D. 3677<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E. None of these<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For company R,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let total number of bags manufactured by the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

company = 100a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of heavy range office bags<\/p>\n\n\n\n

manufactured by company = (45% of 100a \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4320) = (45a \u2013 4320)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of heavy range sports bags<\/p>\n\n\n\n

manufactured by company = (500\/11) % of 55a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 25a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, (45a \u2013 4320) + 25a = 5760<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, value of a = 10080\/70 = 144<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, number of mid-range bags manufactured by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

company R = 4320 + (600\/11) % of 55a = 4320<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ 30 x 144 = 8640<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of mid-range office bags manufactured<\/p>\n\n\n\n

by company T = 4896<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Required difference = 8640 \u2013 4896 = 3744<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the answer is option A<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4) For company T, if the number of heavy range bags sold by the company is 250% of mid-range sports bags and the number of heavy range unsold bags is 8736 less than that of sold bags. Find the total number of bags manufactured by the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. 28800<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. 19200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. 25600<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D. 12800<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E. None of these<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For company T,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let number of bags manufactured = 1600a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of office bags manufactured = 1088a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of sports bags manufactured = 1600a \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1088a = 512a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of mid-range office bags manufactured<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 4896<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of heavy range office bags<\/p>\n\n\n\n

manufactured = 1088a – 4896<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of mid-range sports bags manufactured<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 62.5% of 512a = 320a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of heavy range sports bags<\/p>\n\n\n\n

manufactured = 512a \u2013 320a = 192a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total number of heavy range bags sold = 320a x<\/p>\n\n\n\n

250% = 800a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of heavy range bags unsold = total<\/p>\n\n\n\n

heavy range bags \u2013 sold heavy range bags =<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1088a \u2013 4896 + 192a) \u2013 800a = 480a \u2013 4896<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, 800a \u2013 (480a \u2013 4896) = 8736<\/p>\n\n\n\n

320a = 3840<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, value of a = 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, total number of bags manufactured by<\/p>\n\n\n\n

company = 12 x 1600 = 19200<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence answer is option B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
