Question Details

Direction (63-65): Read the information carefully and answer the following questions.

Three shops (A, B and C) sold two types of watches (Analog and Digital). Ratio of number of Analog watches sold by shop A to the number of digital watches sold by B is 5: 4 and the number of Digital watches sold by A is 25% less than that of B. Number of digital watches sold by C is 40% more than that of analog by C. Number of analog watches sold by B is 30 which 25% less than that of digital watches sold by him and the total number digital watches sold by all the three shops is 140.

Solution :

The correct option is 70%.

Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to find the values for each shop:

Step 1: Find the watches sold by Shop B
The number of analog watches sold by B is given as 30, which is 25% less than the digital watches sold by him.
Let the number of digital watches sold by B be Bdigital.
Since Banalog=30, we have:
30=Bdigital×(1-0.25)
30=0.75×Bdigital
Bdigital=300.75=40
So, Shop B sold 30 analog watches and 40 digital watches.

Step 2: Find the watches sold by Shop A
The ratio of analog watches sold by A to digital watches sold by B is 5:4.
Aanalog=54×Bdigital
Aanalog=54×40=50
The number of digital watches sold by A is 25% less than that of B.
Adigital=40×(1-0.25)=40×0.75=30
So, Shop A sold 50 analog watches and 30 digital watches.

Step 3: Find the watches sold by Shop C
The total number of digital watches sold by all three shops is 140.
Adigital+Bdigital+Cdigital=140
30+40+Cdigital=140
Cdigital=140-70=70
The number of digital watches sold by C is 40% more than the analog watches sold by C.
Cdigital=1.40×Canalog
70=1.40×Canalog
Canalog=701.4=50
So, Shop C sold 50 analog watches and 70 digital watches.

Step 4: Calculate the required percentage
We need to find what percentage the digital watches sold by C (Cdigital) is of the analog watches sold by A and C together (Aanalog+Canalog).
Total analog watches sold by A and C together:
Aanalog+Canalog=50+50=100
Required Percentage:
Percentage=CdigitalAanalog+Canalog×100
Percentage=70100×100=70%
