Question

Anu was asked to create 75 pamphlets for an event, while Manu was asked to create 90 pamphlets for the same event. Anu made 42, while Manu made 72. Who made a greater proportion of pamphlets?

• A. Anu
• B. Manu
• C. Both made the same proportion of pamphlets
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is B Manu

Given: Total number of pamphlets assigned to Anu = 75
Total number of pamphlets assigned to Manu = 90
Number of pamphlets made by Anu = 42
Number of pamphlets made by Manu = 72
Percentage of pamphlets made by Anu
=$\frac{42}{75}\times 100$ = 56%
Percentage of pamphlets made by Manu
=$\frac{72}{90}\times 100$ = 80%
$\therefore$ Manu made a greater proportion of pamphlets.
