| Days | Person | A | B | C | D |

| Wednesday | 800 | 1000 | 700 | - | |
| Thursday | - | 1200 | 800 | 900 | |
If the total product sold by A and B, including all four days, is 3000 and 3500, respectively, the product sold by B on Tuesday si how many more or less than the products sold by A on Thursday?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 200 less.
Calculations:
Let the product sold by A on thursday be x and product sold by B on tuesday be y.
Total product sold by A = 1000 + 500 + 800 + x
⇒ 3000 = x + 2300
⇒ x = 700
Total product sold by B = 1000 + 1200 + 800 + y
⇒ 3500 = y + 3000
⇒ y = 500
Required difference = 700 - 500 = 200
Hence, product sold by B on Tuesday is 200 less than the product sold by A on Thursday
