The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
For Monday :
Total number of small and large sized towel sold on Monday = 0.8 × 950 = 760
So, desired difference = \(\frac{2}{4}\) × 760 = 380
For Tuesday :
Let number of large and small sized towel sold be '3x' and '2x', respectively.
S, 3x - 2x = 90
x = 90
Total number of medium sized towel sold = 900 - 5 × 90 = 450
Desired Percentage = \([\frac{(900-450)}{450}]\) × 100 = 50%
For Wednesday :
Let number of large and small sized towel sold be '5x' and '4x' respectively.
So, 5x - 4x=70
x = 70
Total number of small and large sized towel sold = 9 × 70 = 630
Total number of towel sold = \(\frac{630}{0.75}\) = 840
For Thursday :
Let total number of large and small sized towels sold be 'x' and 'y' respectively.
Total number of small and large sized towels sold = 750 × 0.8 = 600
So, x + y = 600
And, x - y = 40 or y - x = 40
So, x = 320 or 280
And, y = 280 or 320
So, desired ratio can be 8 : 7 or 7 : 8.
For Friday :
Let number of large and small sized towels sold be '4x' and '3x', respectively.
So, 4x - 3x = 90
x = 90
Total number of small and large sized towels sold = 7 × 90 = 630
Total number of towels sold = \(\frac{630}{0.60}\) = 1050
Desired answer = 380
So, the correct option is (A) : 380.
Total number of small and large sized towel sold on Monday = 0.8 × 950 = 760
So, desired difference = \(\frac{2}{4}\) × 760 = 380
For Tuesday :
Let number of large and small sized towel sold be '3x' and '2x', respectively.
S, 3x - 2x = 90
x = 90
Total number of medium sized towel sold = 900 - 5 × 90 = 450
Desired Percentage = \([\frac{(900-450)}{450}]\) × 100 = 50%
For Wednesday :
Let number of large and small sized towel sold be '5x' and '4x' respectively.
So, 5x - 4x=70
x = 70
Total number of small and large sized towel sold = 9 × 70 = 630
Total number of towel sold = \(\frac{630}{0.75}\) = 840
For Thursday :
Let total number of large and small sized towels sold be 'x' and 'y' respectively.
Total number of small and large sized towels sold = 750 × 0.8 = 600
So, x + y = 600
And, x - y = 40 or y - x = 40
So, x = 320 or 280
And, y = 280 or 320
So, desired ratio can be 8 : 7 or 7 : 8.
For Friday :
Let number of large and small sized towels sold be '4x' and '3x', respectively.
So, 4x - 3x = 90
x = 90
Total number of small and large sized towels sold = 7 × 90 = 630
Total number of towels sold = \(\frac{630}{0.60}\) = 1050
| Days | Total towel sold | Ratio of large to small sized towel sold | Percentage of Medium sized towel | Difference between the number of large sized and small sized towel sold |
| Monday | 950 | 3 : 1 | 20% | 380 |
| Tuesday | 900 | 3 : 2 | 50% | 90 |
| Wednesday | 840 | 5 : 4 | 25% | 70 |
| Thursday | 750 | 8 : 7 or 7 : 8 | 20% | 40 |
| Friday | 1050 | 4 : 3 | 40% | 90 |
So, the correct option is (A) : 380.
