Average of the total number of laptops and phones sold
Difference between the number of laptops and phones sold
Shop A
300
80
Shop B
225
100
Shop C
350
120
Shop D
375
60
Shop E
275
70
[Note: In each shop, the number of laptops sold is greater than the number of phones sold.]
Find the ratio of the number of laptops sold by shops A and E together to the number of phones sold by shops B and D together.
1.4: 3
2.6: 7
3.6: 5
4.5: 4
5.7: 5
Correct Answer : 4
Solution :
Laptops and phones sold by shop A = 300 * 2 = 600
Laptops sold by shop A = (600 + 80)/2 = 340
Shops
Laptops + phones sold
Laptops - Phones sold
Laptops sold
Phones sold
A
600

340
260
B
450

410
290
D
750
60
405
345
E
550
70
310
240
The number of laptops sold by shops A and E = 340 + 310 = 650
The number of phones sold by shops B and D = 175 + 345 = 520
Hence, the required ratio = 650/520 = 5: 4
