How many cars assembled by machine C were accepted?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 4950.

The number of cars rejected by machine C = 550

Percentage of cars accepted by machine C = 90%

It means 10% of cars are rejected by machine C

So,

⇒ 10% = 550

⇒ 100% = 550 × 100/10

⇒ 100% = 5500

Total number of cars in machine C = 5500

The number of cars accepted by machine C = 5500 × 90/100 = 55 × 90 = 4950
