Correct Answer :

Option C

860

Solution :

The correct answer is 860.

1. Understanding the Given Data from Pie Charts:
From Pie Chart (I), the total number of all shoes (Sports + Sneakers) sold across five shops = 8000.
• Shop A = 20% of 8000
• Shop B = 15% of 8000
• Shop C = 35% of 8000
• Shop D = 12% of 8000
• Shop E = 18% of 8000

From Pie Chart (II), the total number of Sneakers shoes sold across five shops = 4400.
• Shop A = 15% of 4400
• Shop B = 20% of 4400
• Shop C = 40% of 4400
• Shop D = 10% of 4400
• Shop E = 15% of 4400

2. Calculate Sneakers shoes sold by Shop C and Shop E together:
Total percentage of Sneakers sold by C and E = 40% + 15% = 55%

Sneakers (C + E) = 55 % × 4400 = 55 100 × 4400 = 55 × 44 = 2420

3. Calculate Sports shoes sold by Shop C and Shop D together:
First, find the total number of shoes (Sports + Sneakers) sold by C and D:
Total percentage of shoes sold by C and D = 35% + 12% = 47%

Total Shoes (C + D) = 47 % × 8000 = 47 100 × 8000 = 47 × 80 = 3760

Next, find the total number of Sneakers shoes sold by C and D:
Total percentage of Sneakers sold by C and D = 40% + 10% = 50%

Sneakers (C + D) = 50 % × 4400 = 1 2 × 4400 = 2200

Now, subtract Sneakers from Total Shoes to get Sports shoes sold by C and D together:

Sports Shoes (C + D) = Total Shoes (C + D) - Sneakers (C + D)

Sports Shoes (C + D) = 3760 - 2200 = 1560

4. Find the required difference:

Difference = Sneakers (C + E) - Sports Shoes (C + D)

Difference = 2420 - 1560 = 860

Thus, the required difference is 860.
