Correct Answer :

Option C

672

672

Solution :

The correct answer is 672.

From the given line graph, we can extract the data for Shop C:
- Total TV sold by Shop C (Blue line): 680
- Difference between cell phone and TV sold by Shop C (Orange line): 400

According to the note, the total cell phones sold by all the shops are more than the total TV sold. Therefore, for Shop C, we have:
Number of cell phones sold by C = Total TV sold by C + Difference
Number of cell phones sold by C = 680 + 400 = 1080

Now, we calculate the total items (cell phone + TV) sold by Shop C:
Total items sold by Shop C = 680 + 1080 = 1760

It is given that the total items sold by Shop F is 20% more than that by Shop C:
Total items sold by Shop F = 1760 × ( 1 + 20 100 )
Total items sold by Shop F = 1760 × 1.2 = 2112

The ratio of total TV sold to cell phone sold by Shop F is given as 7:15.
Let the number of TVs and cell phones sold by F be 7x and 15x respectively.
Therefore, the total items sold by Shop F is:
7 x + 15 x = 22 x

Equating the total items sold by F:
22 x = 2112
x = 2112 22 = 96

Finally, we find the number of TVs sold by Shop F:
TV sold by Shop F = 7 x = 7 × 96 = 672
