The line chart given below shows the number of pencil sold by two shopkeepers A and B in 5 months.
Which of the following statement is correct?
1. The number of pencil sold by A in P and Q together is 31.72 percent more than the number of pencil sold by B in S and T together.
II. The number of pencil sold by B in Q and R together is 105.88 percent of the number of pencil sold by A in P and T together.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Only II.
Statement I:
Number of Pencils sold by A in P and Q = 150 + 140 = 290
Number of Pencils sold by B in S and T = 130 + 125 = 255
Required percentage = (290/255) × 100 = 113.72%
Thus, Statement I is wrong.
Statement II:
Number of Pencils sold by B in Q and R = 110 + 160 = 270
Number of Pencils sold by A in P and T = 150 + 105 = 255
Required percentage = (270/255) × 100 = 105.88%
Thus, Statement II is correct.
Hence, only statement II is correct.
