Directions (31-35):The Line graph shows total number of quantities of items (P + Q) dispatched and number of quantities of item ‘Q’ dispatched out of total items of P & Q dispatched from four (A, B C & D) different warehouses in the month of march. Read the following line chart carefully and answer the questions given below.

Find the total number of item Q dispatched from A is what percent of average number of item P dispatched from B and D?

The correct answer is 88%.

Based on the provided line graph, we can extract the quantities of items dispatched from each warehouse (A, B, C, and D):

• Warehouse A:
Total items (P + Q) dispatched = 475
Item Q dispatched = 224
Item P dispatched = 475 - 224 = 251

• Warehouse B:
Total items (P + Q) dispatched = 560
Item Q dispatched = 380
Item P dispatched = 560 - 380 = 180

• Warehouse C:
Total items (P + Q) dispatched = 324
Item Q dispatched = 175
Item P dispatched = 324 - 175 = 149

• Warehouse D:
Total items (P + Q) dispatched = 640
Item Q dispatched = 322
Item P dispatched = 640 - 322 = 318

Step 1: Find the number of item Q dispatched from Warehouse A.

From the graph data, item Q dispatched from A = 224.

Step 2: Find the average number of item P dispatched from Warehouses B and D.

Item P dispatched from B = 180

Item P dispatched from D = 318

Sum of item P dispatched from B and D = 180 + 318 = 498

Average number of item P dispatched from B and D:

$\text{Average}=\frac{498}{2}=254.5$

Step 3: Calculate the required percentage.

Required Percentage = (Item Q dispatched from A / Average item P dispatched from B and D) × 100

$\text{Percentage}=\frac{224}{254.5}\times 100\approx 88\%$

Thus, the total number of item Q dispatched from A is 88% of the average number of item P dispatched from B and D.
