Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

185

185

Solution :

First, let us analyze the line graph to find the total number of TVs sold by shop D:

From the blue line representing Total TV sold, the value corresponding to shop D is 760.

Next, we calculate the number of defective TVs sold by shop D:
It is given that 12.5% of the TVs sold by D are defective.
Defective TVs sold by D = 12.5 % of 760

Defective TVs sold by D = 1 8 × 760 = 95

We are given that the total number of defective items (cell phones + TVs) sold by D is 280.

Therefore, we can find the number of defective cell phones sold by shop D by subtracting the defective TVs from the total defective items:
Defective cell phones sold by D = Total defective items - Defective TVs

Defective cell phones sold by D = 280 - 95 = 185

Thus, the number of defective cell phones sold by shop D is 185.
