Question

    The line chart given below shows the cost price and selling price of 7 articles.

    J1 = Average cost price per article

    J2 = Total value of profit earned on article A, B and C

    What is the respective ratio of J1 and J2?

    A 11 : 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 6 : 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 13 : 6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5 : 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    J1 = (525 + 430 + 640 + 540 + 340 + 775 + 600)/7 = 550 The total cost price of A, B, and C = 525 + 430 + 640 = 1595 The total selling price of A, B, and C = 675 + 520 + 700 = 1895 The profit of A, B and C = J2 = 1895 - 1595 = 300   The ratio of J1 and J2 = (550/300) = 11:6
