Correct Answer :

Option B

600%

600%

Solution :

The correct answer is 600%.

Given Data:

From the pie chart:
Total goods manufactured by all four companies = 200
Percentage distribution of goods manufactured:
Company A = 35%
Company B = 15%
Company C = 20%
Company D = 30%

Pie Chart

Step 1: Calculate the total goods manufactured by Company C and Company D

Total goods manufactured by Company C:
Company C=20% of 200=20100×200=40

Total goods manufactured by Company D:
Company D=30% of 200=30100×200=60

Step 2: Calculate the unsold goods of Company C

From the table, Company C sold 75% of its manufactured goods.
Percentage of unsold goods for Company C = 100% - 75% = 25%
Number of unsold goods for Company C:
Unsold goods of C=25% of 40=25100×40=10

Step 3: Calculate the total goods manufactured by Company E

Company E manufactured 33 1/3% more goods than Company D:
3313%=13
Total goods manufactured by Company E:
Total manufactured by E=60+13×60=60+20=80

Step 4: Calculate the goods sold by Company E

The percentage of goods not sold by E is X2%. With X = 50:
Percentage of unsold goods for Company E:
502%=25%
Percentage of goods sold by Company E = 100% - 25% = 75%
Number of goods sold by Company E:
Goods sold by E=75% of 80=75100×80=60

Step 5: Calculate the required percentage

Percentage of goods sold by E relative to unsold goods of C:
Required Percentage=Goods sold by EUnsold goods of C×100
Required Percentage=6010×100=600%

Hence, the number of goods sold by E is 600% of the unsold goods of C.
