Question 1 of 3

Number of kurtis (linen and cotton) sold by store D is what percent more than the number of linen kurtis sold by store B?

  1. A.

    16%

  2. B.

    20%

  3. C.

    24%

  4. D.

    18%

Answer

B

Explanation

Total kurtis sold by store D =12% of 84,000=10,080= 12\% \text{ of } 84,000 = 10,080.

Total kurtis sold by store B =22% of 84,000=18,480= 22\% \text{ of } 84,000 = 18,480. Number of linen kurtis sold by store B =511×18,480=8,400= \frac{5}{11} \times 18,480 = 8,400.

Percentage more =10,080−8,4008,400×100=1,6808,400×100=20%= \frac{10,080 - 8,400}{8,400} \times 100 = \frac{1,680}{8,400} \times 100 = 20\%.

Question 2 of 3

What is the difference between average number of linen kurtis sold by stores D and E together and average number of cotton kurtis sold by the same stores together?

  1. A.

    2920

  2. B.

    2880

  3. C.

    2940

  4. D.

    3060

Answer

C

Explanation

Store D: Total =10,080= 10,080. Linen =58×10,080=6,300= \frac{5}{8} \times 10,080 = 6,300; Cotton =3,780= 3,780. Store E: Total =28% of 84,000=23,520= 28\% \text{ of } 84,000 = 23,520. Linen =47×23,520=13,440= \frac{4}{7} \times 23,520 = 13,440; Cotton =10,080= 10,080.

Total linen kurtis for D and E =6,300+13,440=19,740= 6,300 + 13,440 = 19,740. Average =9,870= 9,870. Total cotton kurtis for D and E =3,780+10,080=13,860= 3,780 + 10,080 = 13,860. Average =6,930= 6,930.

Difference =9,870−6,930=2,940= 9,870 - 6,930 = 2,940.

Question 3 of 3

  1. A.

    30 : 41

  2. B.

    40 : 49

  3. C.

    22 : 31

  4. D.

    20 : 29

Answer

B

Explanation

Total kurtis sold by store C =8% of 84,000=6,720= 8\% \text{ of } 84,000 = 6,720. Total kurtis sold by store F =14% of 84,000=11,760= 14\% \text{ of } 84,000 = 11,760. Linen kurtis sold by store F =710×11,760=8,232= \frac{7}{10} \times 11,760 = 8,232.

Ratio =6,720:8,232=40:49= 6,720 : 8,232 = 40 : 49.
