Question :

Directions :Read the data carefully and answer the following questions.

The following pie chart shows the percentage distribution of electronic items - television, refrigerator, fan, cooler, washing machine manufactured by a company in 2021.

The table given below shows the percentage of sold items out of the total items sold by the company.

ItemSold items (in %)
TelevisionX - Y
Refrigerator75
FanX + 15
Cooler6Y
Washing machine100 - 2Y

Note:

The ratio of the number of unsold fans to the number of sold television is 6:7.

The number of unsold coolers and refrigerators together is 18 less than the number of fans sold by the company.

If the number of coolers and refrigerators manufactured by the company is increased by 25% and 35% respectively and the number of sold coolers and refrigerators remains same, then what is the total number of unsold coolers and refrigerators together?

1. 1962

2. 2634

3. 1876

4. 2248

5. 2460

Correct Answer : 1
Solution :

From pie chart =>

X + Y + 12 + 21 + 17 = 100

X + Y = 50

Y = 50 - X ------(1)

Let total number of items manufactured by the company = P

Number of unsold fans / Number of sold television = 6/7

[(100 - X - 15)% of 12% of P]/[(X - Y)% of X% of P] = 6/7

12(85 - X)/[X(X - Y)] = 6/7

14(85 - X) = X[X - (50 - X)]

1190 - 14X = 2X2 - 50X

X2 - 18X - 595 = 0

X2 - 35X + 17X - 595 = 0

(X - 35)(X + 17) = 0

X = 35, -17

X = 35 (Positive value)

Y = 50 - 35 = 15

Number of unsold coolers and refrigerators together = Number of fans sold - 18

[(100 - 6Y)% of 21% of P] + [(100 - 75)% of Y% of P] = [(X + 15)% of 12% of P] - 18

21P(100 - 6*15) + 25P * 15 = 12P(35 + 15) - 180000

7P*10 + 25P * 5 = 4P*50 - 60000

(200 - 70 - 125)P = 60000

5P = 60000

P = 12000

Total number of items manufactured by the company = 12000

For television =>

Manufactured = 35% of 12000 = 4200

Sold = (35 - 15)% of 4200 = 840

Unsold = 4200 - 840 = 3360

Similarly, we can calculate for other items.

ItemManufacturedSoldUnsold
Television42008403360
Refrigerator18001350450
Fan1440720720
Cooler25202268252
Washing machine20401428612

Increase in coolers and refrigerators = 25% of 2520 + 35% of 1800 = 630 + 630 = 1260

Total number of unsold coolers and refrigerators together after change = 252 + 450 + 1260 = 1962
