Direction(1-4): XYZ Pvt. Ltd. sold chairs made of three different materials, i.e., wood, plastic, and steel. The table given below shows the number of chairs sold by the company starting from January till May. It also provides the percentage of wooden chairs sold out of the total number of chairs sold by the company and the average number of plastic and steel chairs sold by them.

What is the ratio of all the chairs barring wooden chairs sold in April and May together to the total number of chairs sold in the months of February, March, and April together?

• A. 11 : 35
• B. 22 : 63
• C. 11 : 70
• D. 22 : 45

Answer 1

The correct option is C

11 : 70

Total number of chairs sold in January =$\frac{624\times 2}{(100-52)}=2600$

Number of wooden chairs sold in January = 2600 – 2 × 624 = 1352

Number of chairs sold in February = 4100 – 2600 = 1500

Number of wooden chairs sold in February = 4100 × 50% – 1352 = 698

Similarly,

All the chairs barring wooden chairs sold in April and May together = (162 + 498) = 660

Total number of chairs sold in February, March, and April together = 1500 + 1540 + 1160 = 4200

Required ratio = 660 : 4200 = 11 : 70

Hence, the answer is option C.
