Solution :

Given:

  • Total cars manufactured = 2400
  • Total petrol cars manufactured = 1500
  • Company D manufactured 25% of total cars.
  • Company D manufactured 30% of total petrol cars.
  • Two-fifth of Company D's cars remain unsold.
  • 65% of the unsold cars are petrol cars.

Step 1: Find the total cars, petrol cars and diesel cars of Company D

Total cars of Company D = 25% of 2400 = 600

Petrol cars of Company D = 30% of 1500 = 450

Diesel cars of Company D = 600 − 450 = 150

Step 2: Find the number of unsold cars

Unsold cars = (2/5) × 600 = 240

Unsold petrol cars = 65% of 240 = 156

Unsold diesel cars = 240 − 156 = 84

Step 3: Find the sold diesel cars

Sold diesel cars = Total diesel cars − Unsold diesel cars

= 150 − 84 = 66
