Correct Answer :

Option B

165

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 T be the total number of vehicles (diesel, EV, and petrol) manufactured by a company.

From the problem statement:
- Petrol vehicles manufactured = Percentage of petrol vehicles×T
- Diesel vehicles manufactured = Percentage of diesel vehicles×Petrol vehicles manufactured
- EV vehicles manufactured = T-(Petrol vehicles+Diesel vehicles)

Step 1: Calculate the total number of vehicles manufactured by B

For Company B:
- Total EV manufactured = 120
- Percentage of petrol vehicles = 40% of T
- Percentage of diesel vehicles = 25% of petrol vehicles

Let TB be the total vehicles manufactured by B.

Petrol vehicles=0.40TB

Diesel vehicles=0.25×0.40TB=0.10TB

Since the total number of vehicles is the sum of EV, petrol, and diesel vehicles:
TB=120+0.40TB+0.10TB
TB=120+0.50TB
0.50TB=120
TB=240

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 T
- Percentage of diesel vehicles = 60% of petrol vehicles

Let TD be the total vehicles manufactured by D.

Petrol vehicles=0.25TD

Diesel vehicles=0.60×0.25TD=0.15TD

Using the total sum formula:
TD=300+0.25TD+0.15TD
TD=300+0.40TD
0.60TD=300
TD=500

Now, calculate the total number of diesel vehicles manufactured by D:
Diesel vehicles of D=0.15×500=75

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:
Difference=240-75=165
