1) The difference between the number of Macs manufactured by company A and B is same as that of the company B and C. If the number of Macs sold by company B and C is same, then find the number of Macs manufactured by the company A is what percentage of the company<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. (A manufactured highest number of Macs and C manufactured the lowest number of Macs)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A.            69.23%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B.            133.33%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.            144.44%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

D.            125%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

According to the Question,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A \u2013 B = B \u2013 C<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A + C = 2B ——- (1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, 50% of B = 90% of C<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B\/C = 9x\/5x——— (2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From (1) and (2),<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A + 5x = 2*9x<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A = 13x<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The required % = 13x\/9x * 100 = 144.44%<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

2) If the number of Macs manufactured by the company A and B is 40% more than the number of Laptops manufactured by each company A and B. The average number of Macs sold by company A and B together is K more than the average number of laptops sold by company A and B together. Then find the number of Laptops unsold by company B. Where, K = 800<\/p>\n\n\n\n

+ 11.5% of the number of laptops manufactured by company A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A.            1200<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B.            4000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.            3500<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D.            2800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

E.            Can\u2019t be determined<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

According to the question,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let, the number of Laptops manufactured by the company A and B is 100a and 100b respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of Macs manufactured by company A and B is 140a and 140b respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now according to the question,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(45% x 140a + 50% of 140b)\/2 \u2013 (40% x 100a +<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30% x 100b)\/2 = 800 + 11.5% of 100a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

63a + 70b \u2013 40a \u2013 30b = 1600 + 23a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23a + 40b = 1600 + 23a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

40b = 1600<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the value of b = 40<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of laptops manufactured by company B<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 100b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of laptops sold by company B = 30b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number of laptops unsold by company B= 100b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 30b = 70b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 70 x 40 = 2800<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

3) If the sum of the desktops sold by company A and B is 2586 and the sum of the desktops sold by company A and C is 3930. If the number of desktops sold by company C is 87.5% more than that of company B, then find the number of laptops manufactured by company C?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A.            4200<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B.            2560<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.            1536<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D.            1050<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

According to the question,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum of the Desktops sold by company (A + B) =<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2586 —– (1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sum of the Desktops sold by company (A + C) =<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3930 —– (2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From (1) and (2),<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desktops sold by company C \u2013 Desktops sold by company B<\/p>\n\n\n\n

= 1344<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, Desktops sold by company C = 187.5% of desktop sold by the company B<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, 187.5 of the desktops sold by the company<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B \u2013 100 of the desktop sold by company B =<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1344*100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desktops sold by the company B = 1344\/87.5 x<\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 = 1536<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desktops sold by the company C = 187.5% of<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1536 = 2880<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desktops manufactured by the company C =<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2880\/80 x 100 = 3600<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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