Correct Answer :

Option B

16

Solution :

The correct option is 16.


Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Understand the data given in the table:

• City K: Total bikes sold by (X and Y) = 328
• City K: Total cars sold by (X and Y) = 450
• City K: Bikes sold by Y = 210

• City M: Total bikes sold by (X and Y) = 440
• City M: Bikes sold by Y = 90


2. Find the total number of bikes sold by X in city M:

Bikes sold by X in city M = Total bikes sold in city M - Bikes sold by Y in city M

Bikes sold by X in M=440-90=350


3. Find the total number of cars sold by Y in city K:

According to the given condition, the total number of cars sold by Y in city K is two-fifth (25) of the total number of bikes sold by Y in city K.

Cars sold by Y in K=25×210

Cars sold by Y in K=2×42=84


4. Find the total number of cars sold by X in city K:

Cars sold by X in city K = Total cars sold in city K - Cars sold by Y in city K

Cars sold by X in K=450-84=366


5. Find the required difference:

Difference = Total number of cars sold by X in city K - Total number of bikes sold by X in city M

Difference=366-350=16


Thus, the required difference is 16.
