Question

An inspector rejects $0.08$% of the meters as defective. How many will he examine to reject $2$?

• A. 2000
• B. 2200
• C. 2500
• D. 2800

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2500

Inspector rejects $0.08\%$

Let there be $x$ meters.

No. if defective maters $=0.08\%$ of $x$

$\Rightarrow 2=\frac{0.08}{100}\times x$

$\frac{200}{0.08}=x$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{20000}{8}\Rightarrow 2500$

$\therefore$ Inspector examines $2500$ meters and reject $2$
