Correct Answer :

Option A

225

Solution :

The correct option is 225.

Let us solve the problem step-by-step using the data provided in the table.

Step 1: Find the total number of cars sold by X in city L.
From the table, the total number of cars sold by both companies (X and Y) in city L is 980.
The ratio of the total number of cars sold by X to Y in city L is given as 3:4.
Total ratio parts = 3 + 4 = 7 parts.
Number of cars sold by X in city L = 37×980

Number of cars sold by X in city L=3×140=420

Step 2: Find the total number of bikes sold by Y in city N.
Directly from the table, under the column "Bikes sold by Y" for city N, the value is 195.

Step 3: Calculate the difference between the total number of cars sold by X in city L and the total number of bikes sold by Y in city N.
Difference = Cars sold by X in L - Bikes sold by Y in N

Difference=420195=225

Therefore, the total number of cars sold by X in city L is 225 more than the total number of bikes sold by Y in city N.
