Find the difference between the total number of diesel vehicles manufactured by D and the total number of vehicles (diesel, EV, and petrol) manufactured by B.
Correct Answer :
165
Solution :
The correct option is 165.
To find the difference between the total number of diesel vehicles manufactured by D and the total number of vehicles (diesel, EV, and petrol) manufactured by B, we will analyze the data step-by-step for both companies.
Let be the total number of vehicles (diesel, EV, and petrol) manufactured by a company.
From the problem statement:
- Petrol vehicles manufactured =
- Diesel vehicles manufactured =
- EV vehicles manufactured =
Step 1: Calculate the total number of vehicles manufactured by B
For Company B:
- Total EV manufactured = 120
- Percentage of petrol vehicles = 40% of
- Percentage of diesel vehicles = 25% of petrol vehicles
Let be the total vehicles manufactured by B.
Since the total number of vehicles is the sum of EV, petrol, and diesel vehicles:
So, the total number of vehicles manufactured by B is 240.
Step 2: Calculate the total number of diesel vehicles manufactured by D
For Company D:
- Total EV manufactured = 300
- Percentage of petrol vehicles = 25% of
- Percentage of diesel vehicles = 60% of petrol vehicles
Let be the total vehicles manufactured by D.
Using the total sum formula:
Now, calculate the total number of diesel vehicles manufactured by D:
Step 3: Find the difference
We need to find the difference between the total vehicles manufactured by B and the diesel vehicles manufactured by D:
