Correct Answer :

Option B

600%

600%

Solution :

Correct Answer/Option: The correct option is 600%.

Let us break down the solution step-by-step by analyzing the data from the pie chart and the table:

Step 1: Analyze the Pie Chart
Based on the pie chart, the total number of goods manufactured by all companies is 200. The percentage distribution of goods manufactured by each company is:
- Company A: 35%
- Company B: 15%
- Company C: 20%
- Company D: 30%

Step 2: Calculate manufactured and unsold goods for Company C
The number of goods manufactured by Company C is:

Total manufactured by C=20%×200=40

From the table, the percentage of goods sold by Company C is 75%. Therefore, the percentage of unsold goods of Company C is:

100%-75%=25%

The total number of unsold goods of Company C is:

Unsold goods of C=25%×40=10

Step 3: Calculate the number of goods manufactured by Company E
The number of goods manufactured by Company D is:

Total manufactured by D=30%×200=60

The goods manufactured by Company E is 33 1/3% (or 13) more than that of D:

Total manufactured by E=60×(1+13)=60×43=80

Step 4: Determine the number of goods sold by Company E
We are given that the number of goods sold by E is 600% of the unsold goods of C:

Goods sold by E=600%×Unsold goods of C

Goods sold by E=6×10=60

Step 5: Find the value of X
The unsold goods of Company E is:

Unsold goods of E=80-60=20

The percentage of unsold goods of Company E is:

Percentage of unsold goods of E=2080×100%=25%

According to the problem, X2% of the goods are not sold by E:

X2=25X=50

This is consistent with the table value for Company D's sold percentage being 4X% = 40% (under the notation where X represents the digit 0, or 4X% = 40% when X = 10, indicating a consistent system of variables).
