Question

The total tractor population in a State is 294000, out of which 150000 are made by Mahindra & Mahindra. Out of every 1000 Mahindra tractors, 98 are red in colour. But only 5.3% of the total tractor population is red. Find the percentage of non-Mahindra tractors that are red.

• A. 3%
• B. 5.025%
• C. 5.130%
• D. 6.140%

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Mahindra red tractor \(=\frac{98}{100}\times(150000)=147000\)

Total red tractor \(=294000\times53=155820\)

Non-Mahindra red tractor \(=155820-147000\)

\(=8820\)

i.e  \(\frac{8820}{294000}\)

=.03

=3\(\%\).So the correct option is (A)
