$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Day}& \text{Number of hand phones}\\ \text{Monday}& \text{200}\\ \text{Tuesday}& \\ \text{Wednesday}& \text{150}\end{array}$

• A. Key::- represents 50 hand phones
• B. Key::- represents 50 hand phones
• C.
  Key::- represents 50 hand phones
• D.
  Key::- represents 50 hand phones

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Key::- represents 50 hand phones

One represents 50 phones.
Number of phones sold on Wednesday = 150, i.e 50 $\times$ 3. So we use three for Wednesday.
On Tuesday 150 more phones were sold than Wednesday. So another 3 needs to added for Tuesday, which makes the total required for Tuesday = 6.
