Answer 1

The correct option is D 48

Items sold by S on Monday = 41
Items sold by S on Tuesday = 39
Total items sold by S on Monday and Tuesday = 41 + 39 = 80 Now, items sold by P on Wednesday = 60%
of Items sold by S on Monday and Tuesday
Therefore, 60% of 80 = 48
Clearly, 48 is the number of articles sold by P on Wednesday.
