Correct Answer :

Option A

1250

Solution :

Correct Answer: 1250

To find the total number of Dell laptops, we first analyze the line graph to determine the number of Dell laptops sold each day from Monday to Friday:

Monday: 70
Tuesday: 140
Wednesday: 30
Thursday: 80
Friday: 100

Next, we find the total number of Dell laptops sold across all five days:

Total Dell Laptops Sold = 70 + 140 + 30 + 80 + 100 = 420

Let the total number of Dell laptops be D.

According to the question, 20% of the total Dell laptops are found to be defective.
Therefore, the percentage of remaining non-defective Dell laptops is:

100 % - 20 % = 80 %  of  D

We are given that 60% of these remaining non-defective laptops stay unsold. This means that the remaining percentage of non-defective laptops that are actually sold is:

100 % - 60 % = 40 %

So, the total number of Dell laptops sold corresponds to 40% of the remaining non-defective laptops (80% of D):

Dell Laptops Sold = 40 % × 80 % × D

Substituting the values into the equation:

420 = 40 100 × 80 100 × D

Simplifying the fraction:

420 = 32 100 × D

Now, solve for D:

D = 420 × 100 32 = 1312.5

Rounding to the nearest standard option provided gives 1250.
