Question Details

The pie chart shows the total number of (sold and unsold) goods by four companies (A, B, C & D). The table shows the items sold out of total good manufactured by these companies.

Companies Goods sold out of total goods manufactured
A 90%
B 80%
C 75%
D 4X%

Out of the total goods sold by A, 53 are defective and rest are non defective, and the ratio of non-defective goods sold by A to non-defective goods unsold by A is 2:1. Find the defective goods sold by A.

Solution :

To find the correct answer, we will analyze the data from the pie chart and the table step-by-step.

Step 1: Find the total goods manufactured by Company A
From the pie chart:
• Total goods manufactured by all four companies = 200
• Sector percentage for Company A = 35%

Therefore, the total goods manufactured by Company A is:
Total manufactured by A = 35 % of 200 = 35 100 × 200 = 70

Step 2: Find the number of sold and unsold goods for Company A
From the table, Company A sold 90% of its manufactured goods:
Total goods sold by A = 90 % of 70 = 63
The remaining goods are unsold:
Total goods unsold by A = 70 - 63 = 7

Step 3: Calculate the non-defective sold goods for Company A
We are given that out of the total goods sold by A (63 goods), 53 are defective. Therefore, the remaining sold goods are non-defective:
Non-defective goods sold by A = 63 - 53 = 10

Step 4: Calculate the non-defective unsold goods for Company A
The ratio of non-defective goods sold by A to non-defective goods unsold by A is given as 2:1.
Let the number of non-defective unsold goods be x.
10 x = 2 1 x = 5
So, Company A has 5 non-defective unsold goods.

Step 5: Find the defective unsold goods for Company A
Since the question asks for the defective goods (the question text contains a minor typo asking for "sold" instead of "unsold", since defective sold is already given as 53), we calculate the defective unsold goods:
Defective goods unsold by A = Total unsold by A - Non-defective unsold by A
Defective goods unsold by A = 7 - 5 = 2

Thus, the correct option representing the defective unsold goods is 2.
