Explanation

Total = 1500. A: 16%×1500=24016\% \times 1500 = 240 B: 11%×1500=16511\% \times 1500 = 165 C: 21%×1500=31521\% \times 1500 = 315 D: 9%×1500=1359\% \times 1500 = 135 E: 26%×1500=39026\% \times 1500 = 390 F: 5%×1500=755\% \times 1500 = 75 G: 12%×1500=18012\% \times 1500 = 180

  • (A) A+G=240+180=420<500A + G = 240 + 180 = 420 < 500 (False)
  • (B) B+F=165+75=240<250B + F = 165 + 75 = 240 < 250 (True)
  • (C) C+E=315+390=705C + E = 315 + 390 = 705 (True)
  • (D) D+G=135+180=315>200D + G = 135 + 180 = 315 > 200 (False)
  • (E) E+F+G=390+75+180=645≠545E + F + G = 390 + 75 + 180 = 645 \neq 545 (False)

Thus, only (B) and (C) are true.
