Question

At a book sale, $300$ people each bought at least $1$ book. A total of $350$ books were sold.

Column $A$ : The number of people who bought more than $1$ book

Column $B$: $51$

Then

• A. The quantity in Column $A$ is greater.
• B. The quantity in Column $B$ is greater.
• C. The two quantities are equal.
• D. The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The quantity in Column $B$ is greater.

Given that there are $300$ people and a total of $350$ books.

Each people must get atleast $1$ book.

Suppose assume that $1$ is given to $300$ people each, the number of books remaining is $50$.

Therefore at max $50$ people can have more than one book $<51$.

Therefore $2^{nd}$ quantity is greater.

So, the correct option is $B$.
