Question

Cost of production of item I by company F is what percent of the cost of production of item II by company D?

• A. 16%
• B. 33.33%
• C. 66.67%
• D. None of these
  % Correct answer

Hint:

Use company percentage share on total production to find actual cost, and apply the given item ratio.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Total production cost = \rupee 25 crore
Company F's share = 5% of 25 crore = \rupee 1.25 crore
F’s item ratio = 1:1 ⇒ item I = \(\frac{1.25}{2} = 0.625\) crore
Company D's share = 8% of 25 crore = \rupee 2 crore
D’s item ratio = 3:5 ⇒ item II = \(\frac{5}{8} \times 2 = 1.25\) crore
Required percentage = \(\frac{0.625}{1.25} \times 100 = 50%\)
Hence, none of the given options are correct. \[ {50%} \]
