Quantity of yellow colour sold by shopkeeper M = 1680 * 11/7 = 2640 gm
Similarly, calculating the remaining data:
The quantity of red colour sold
The quantity of yellow colour sold
Shopkeeper M
1680 gm
2640 gm
Shopkeeper N
3300 gm
1700 gm
Shopkeeper O
4000 gm
3500 gm
Shopkeeper P
8400 gm
17500 gm
Shopkeeper Q
