The given table shows the percentage distribution of flats in each of the apartments out of the total number of flats in all the apartments and the percentage by which 2 BHK flats are less than the 1 BHK flats in each apartment. Note: Average number of flats in all four apartments is 125. There are only two types of flats i.e. 1 BHK and 2 BHK.

    In apartment T if the number of 1 BHK flats are 18%

    more than that of apartment Q and the number of 2 BHK flats are 20% less than that of apartment S, then find the total number of flats in apartment T.
    A 138 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 180 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 158 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 107 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 114 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total number of flats in all four apartments = 500 Now, (A + 3A + 3A – 5 + 4A – 5)% = 100% => (11A – 10)% = 100% => A = 10% Number of 1 BHK flats in apartment T = (118/100) x 100 = 118 Number of 2 BHK flats in apartment T = (80/100) x 50 = 40 Total number of flats in apartment T = 118 + 40 = 158
