Question

    Read the following information carefully and answer the following questions: There are four apartments P, Q, R and S in Hill View Society. 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
