Question 1 of 3

If another store 'F' sold number of multigrain packets which is average number of multigrain packets sold by stores 'C', 'D' and 'E' and average number of whole-wheat packets sold by stores 'A' and 'E'. If store 'B' sold each packet at ₹ 240 and store 'F' sold each packet at 20% more than that of 'B', then total revenue collected by store 'F' is:

  1. A.

    ₹ 24246

  2. B.

    ₹ 36864

  3. C.

    ₹ 28246

  4. D.

    ₹ 32684

Answer

B

Explanation

Average multigrain sold by C, D, and E = 72+54+843=70\frac{72 + 54 + 84}{3} = 70. Average whole-wheat sold by A and E = 44+722=58\frac{44 + 72}{2} = 58. Total packets sold by store F = 70+58=12870 + 58 = 128. Selling price per packet for store F = 240×1.20=₹288240 \times 1.20 = ₹ 288. Total revenue collected by store F = 128×288=₹36864128 \times 288 = ₹ 36864.

Question 2 of 3

The total number of packets sold by store 'C' is approximately what percent more or less than the total number of packets sold by store 'E'?

  1. A.

    3% more

  2. B.

    3% less

  3. C.

    5% more

  4. D.

    5% less

Answer

B

Explanation

Total packets sold by store C = 72+80=15272 + 80 = 152. Total packets sold by store E = 84+72=15684 + 72 = 156. Percentage difference = 152−156156×100%=−2.56%≈3%\frac{152 - 156}{156} \times 100\% = -2.56\% \approx 3\% less.

Question 3 of 3

Multigrain packets sold by stores 'A' and 'B' together are what percent more or less than whole-wheat packets sold by stores 'C' and 'D' together?

  1. A.

    25% more

  2. B.

    25% less

  3. C.

    30% less

  4. D.

    30% more

Answer

D

Explanation

Multigrain packets sold by stores A & B = 92+64=15692 + 64 = 156. Whole-wheat packets sold by stores C & D = 80+40=12080 + 40 = 120. Required percentage = 156−120120×100%=30%\frac{156 - 120}{120} \times 100\% = 30\% more.
