Green apples sold by ‘P’ are 100 less than red apples sold by him. Total apples sold by ‘Q’ are 1080 which is 20% more than that by ‘P’ and ratio of green apples sold by ‘P’ and ‘Q’ is 2:3 respectively. Average number of apples sold by ‘R’ and ‘S’ is 680 and the ratio of green apples to red apples sold by ‘S’ is 5:7. Red apples sold by ‘R’ is 20% less than that by ‘Q’ and 50% more than green apples sold by him.

    ‘S’
    A 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 355 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 380 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total apples sold by ‘P’ = 1080/1.20 = 900 Green apples sold by ‘P’ = (900 – 100)/2 = 400 Red apples sold by ‘P’ = 900 – 400 = 500 Green apples sold by ‘Q’ = 3/2 × 400 = 600 Red apples sold by ‘Q’ = 1080 – 600 = 480 Red apples sold by ‘R’ = 0.80 × 480 = 384 Green apples sold by ‘R’ = 384/1.50 = 256 Total apples sold by ‘R’ = 256 + 384 = 640 Total apples sold by ‘S’ = 680 × 2 – 640 = 720 Green apples sold by ‘S’ = 5/12 × 720 = 300 Red apples sold by ‘S’ = 7/12 × 720 = 420 Required answer = 420
