Total numbers of flowers sold by shop A is 180 which are 40% of the total number of flowers sold by shop B. 20% of flowers sold by shop B are dried flowers. Ratio of number of dried flowers sold by shop A and C is 5:7 and number of silk flowers sold by shop C is 120 less than that sold by shop B.

    B 30% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 66% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 54% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 14% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let number of dried flowers sold by shop A be ‘x’. Number of silk flowers sold by the shop A = 0.8x According to question, => x + 0.8x = 180 => x = 100 So, number of dried flowers sold by shop A = 100 And number of silk flowers sold by the shop A = 0.8x = 80 Total number of flowers sold by shop B = 180 × (100/40) = 450 Number of dried flowers sold by the shop B = 450 × (20/100) = 90 Number of silk flowers sold by the shop B = 450 – 90 = 360 Number of dried flowers sold by the shop C = 7 × (100/5) = 140 Number of silk flowers sold by the shop C = 360 - 120 = 240 Required % = [(380 – 180)/380] × 100 = 54% approx.
