Question

The bar graph below gives the number of calories consumed by three guys A, B and C after eating chocolate. What is the amount of calories consumed by C if his share of chocolate is equal to $(\frac{3}{8}{)}^{\text{th}}$ of what A has eaten?

• A. 300
• B. 350
• C. 400
• D. 450

Answer 1

The correct option is D

450

From the bar graph, we observe that amount of calories consumed by A is 1200 calories. Since C ate $(\frac{3}{8}{)}^{\text{th}}$ part of chocolate eaten by A, the amount calories consumed by C will also be $(\frac{3}{8}{)}^{\text{th}}$​​​ of that of A. So, amount of calories consumed by C = $\frac{3}{8}$ x 1200 = 450 calories.
