Solution :

Based on the provided pie chart and table, we can solve the problem step-by-step:

Step 1: Find the total number of goods manufactured by Company B
From the pie chart, the total number of goods manufactured by all four companies combined is 200.
The pie chart shows that Company B (represented by the orange sector) accounts for 15% of the total manufactured goods.
Total goods manufactured by Company B:
200×15100=30
So, Company B manufactured 30 goods.

Step 2: Find the number of goods sold by Company B
From the table, the percentage of goods sold by Company B out of its total manufactured goods is 80%.
Number of goods sold by Company B:
30×80100=24
So, Company B sold 24 goods.

Step 3: Calculate the total Selling Price (SP) of the goods sold
Each good is sold at the rate of Rs. 5.
Total Selling Price (SP):
24×5=Rs. 120

Step 4: Calculate the Cost Price (CP) of the sold goods
Company B makes a profit of 25% on these goods.
The formula relating Selling Price, Cost Price, and Profit Percentage is:
Cost Price (CP)=Selling Price (SP)1+Profit%100
Substituting the values:
CP=1201+25100=1201.25=96
Therefore, the cost price of all the goods sold by B is Rs. 96.

The correct option is 96.
