Note: (i) Number of Cello water bottles sold is one-fourth of the number of Milton water bottles sold by each shop. (ii) Total number of water bottles sold by shop (B + C) is 250.

    Find the ratio of the number of Cello water bottles sold

    by shop D to the total number of Milton water bottles sold by shop A.
    A 5:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 4:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:7 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Percentage of total number of water bottles sold by shop B and C = [100 – (20 + 30 + 25)]% = 25% => 25% ----- 250 => 100% ------ 1000 Total number of water bottles sold by all the shops together = 1000 Number of water bottles sold by shop D = 30% of 1000 = 300 Let number of Milton water bottles sold by shop D be x. Number of Cello water bottles sold by shop D = x/4 According to the question, => x + x/4 = 300 => 5x = 1200 => x = 240 Milton water bottles sold by shop D = 240 Cello water bottles sold by shop D = 240/4 = 60 Similarly, Required ratio = 60: 160 = 3:8
