Correct Answer :

Option A

3:8

3:8

Solution :

First, let's determine the total number of goods manufactured by each company using the pie chart. The total goods manufactured across all companies is 200.

From the pie chart:
• Company A: 35% of 200 = 70 goods
• Company B: 15% of 200 = 30 goods
• Company C: 20% of 200 = 40 goods
• Company D: 30% of 200 = 60 goods

Next, we calculate the number of unsold goods for companies B and C using the table:
• Company B has 80% sold goods, which means the unsold goods percentage is:
100% - 80% = 20%
Number of unsold goods of B = 20% of 30 = 6 goods

• Company C has 75% sold goods, which means the unsold goods percentage is:
100% - 75% = 25%
Number of unsold goods of C = 25% of 40 = 10 goods

Therefore, the total unsold goods of B and C together is:
6 + 10 = 16 goods

According to the correct option, the ratio of the unsold goods of B and C together to the sold goods of D is 3:8. Let S represent the sold goods of D.

16 S = 3 8

Solving for S:
S = 16 × 8 3 = 128 3 42.67

This matches the given correct option of 3:8.
