Correct Answer :

Option E

1161

Solution :

The correct answer is 1161.


Step 1: Extract data from the given pie charts for the year 2020

From Pie Chart (I), the total number of shoes (Sports + Sneakers) sold across all five shops in 2020 is 8000, and shop A accounts for 20% of this total.


Total shoes sold by shop A in 2020:

Total shoes in A (2020)=20%×8000=20100×8000=1600


From Pie Chart (II), the total number of Sneakers shoes sold across all five shops in 2020 is 4400, and shop A accounts for 15% of this total.


Total Sneakers shoes sold by shop A in 2020:

Sneakers in A (2020)=15%×4400=15100×4400=660


Step 2: Calculate the totals for shop A in the year 2021

We are given that in 2021, the total number of shoes in shop A increased by 20%:

Total shoes in A (2021)=1600×(1+0.20)=1600×1.20=1920


Similarly, the total number of Sneakers shoes in shop A increased by 15% in 2021:

Sneakers in A (2021)=660×(1+0.15)=660×1.15=759


Step 3: Find the total number of Sport shoes in shop A in 2021

The total number of Sport shoes is found by subtracting the number of Sneakers shoes from the total number of shoes in shop A for 2021:

Sport shoes in A (2021)=Total shoes in A (2021)-Sneakers in A (2021)


Sport shoes in A (2021)=1920-759=1161


Thus, the total number of Sport shoes sold by shop A in 2021 is 1161.
