| February | 18 | 25 | 12 | 24 |
| March | 30 | 40 | 42 | 45 |
| April | 35 | 32 | 40 | 16 |
In branch X, Total number of accounts opened in month of March is 25% more than the number of accounts opened by D in month of April. Find the sum of the accounts opened by X in month March and number of accounts opened by C in the month of February.
Correct Answer :
32
Solution :
To find the required sum, let us break down the calculations step-by-step based on the data given in the table.
Step 1: Find the number of accounts opened by branch D in the month of April.
From the table, we locate the row for April and the column for branch D.
The number of accounts opened by D in April = 16.
Step 2: Calculate the number of accounts opened by branch X in the month of March.
We are given that the number of accounts opened in branch X in March is 25% more than the number of accounts opened by D in April.
Number of accounts opened by X in March = (Accounts by D in April) + 25% of (Accounts by D in April)
Number of accounts opened by X in March = 16 + (0.25 * 16)
Number of accounts opened by X in March = 16 + 4 = 20.
Step 3: Find the number of accounts opened by branch C in the month of February.
From the table, we locate the row for February and the column for branch C.
The number of accounts opened by C in February = 12.
Step 4: Calculate the required sum.
Sum = (Accounts by X in March) + (Accounts by C in February)
Sum = 20 + 12 = 32.
Thus, the sum of the accounts opened by X in March and by C in February is 32.
