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 minimum possible difference between the number of wooden chairs sold in April and the number of plastic chairs sold in April?

• A. 836
• B. 674
• C. 784
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A 836

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,


Number of wooden chairs sold in April = 998

Maximum possible plastic chairs sold in April would give the minimum required difference.

Maximum possible plastic chairs sold in April = 162

Required difference = 998 – 162 = 836

Hence, the answer is option A.
