The table given below shows the average number of articles (A, B and C) sold by Pesto company in three different months. It also shows the percentage of article A sold by Pesto company out of the total number of articles sold in these months. Table also reflects the total number of article C sold in these months. Read the table carefully and answer the following questions.

Months	Average number of articles sold	Percentage of article A sold	Total number of articles C sold
April	100	40%	100
May	120	30%	70
June	72	25%	80

Number of articles C sold in April and June together are what percentage (approx.) of the number of articles A sold in May.

The correct option is 167%.

Let's analyze the given data step-by-step to answer the question.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of articles sold in each month

The table provides the average number of articles (A, B, and C) sold each month.

Total number of articles sold = Average number of articles sold × 3

For May:

Average number of articles sold = 120

Total articles sold in May = $120\times 3=360$

Step 2: Calculate the number of article A sold in May

In May, the percentage of article A sold out of the total articles is 30%.

Number of article A sold in May = 30% of 360

$\text{Number of article A in May}=\frac{30}{100}\times 360=108$

Step 3: Find the total number of article C sold in April and June together

From the table:

Number of article C sold in April = 100

Number of article C sold in June = 80

Total number of article C sold in April and June together = $100+80=180$

Step 4: Calculate the required percentage

We need to find what percentage the number of article C sold in April and June together is of the number of article A sold in May.

$\text{Required Percentage}=\left(\frac{\text{Total article C in April \& June}}{\text{Article A in May}}\right)\times 100$

$\text{Required Percentage}=\left(\frac{180}{108}\right)\times 100$

$\text{Required Percentage}=\frac{5}{3}\times 100\approx 166.67\%$

Approximating to the nearest whole percentage, we get 167%.
