• A. 110
• B. 140
• C. 150
• D. 105
• E. 130

Answer 1

The correct option is E

130

Number of mobile phones sold in the month of July = 45000 $\times$ $\frac{17}{100}$ = 7650

Number of mobile phones sold by Company A in the month of July = 7650 $\times$ $\frac{8}{15}$ = 4080

Number of mobile phones sold in the month of December = 45000 $\times$ $\frac{16}{100}$ = 7200

Number of mobile phones sold by Company A in the month of December = 7200 $\times$$\frac{7}{16}$ = 3150

$\therefore$Reqd $\%$ = $\frac{4080}{3150}$ $\times$ 100 = 129.52 $\approx$ 130
