3.260
4.265
5.270
Correct Answer : 4
Solution :
The number of apples sold by shop P = 800 * 35/100 = 280
The number of papayas sold by shop P = 800 - (280 + 250) = 270
The number of apples, oranges, and Papayas sold
The number of apples sold
The number of oranges sold
The number of papayas sold
Shop P

Shop R

300
275
175
Shop S
850
170
225
455
Shop T
950
285
325
340
The number of papayas sold by shop T and shop Q together = 340 + 375 = 715
The number of apples sold by shop P and shop S together = 280 + 170 = 450
Hence, the required difference = 715 - 450 = 265
