The total number of diesel cars sold by B is how many more or less than the total number of petrol cars sold by C.

Read the following table carefully and answer the questions given below. The table shows the total number of cars (EV, Diesel and petrol) sold and the percentage of EV cars sold out of the total cars sold by four different companies. The table also shows the difference between the petrol and diesel cars sold by these four companies.

Note: Petrol cars sold are more than the diesel cars sold by each company .

Companies	Total number of cars sold	Percentage of EV cars sold	Difference between the petrol and the diesel cars sold
A	400	25%	70
B	550	10%	85
C	360	30%	52
D	280	15%	102

The correct answer is 53.

To find the difference between the total number of diesel cars sold by company B and the total number of petrol cars sold by company C, we can calculate the values step-by-step from the given table.

Step 1: Calculate the number of diesel cars sold by Company B
The total number of cars sold by B is 550, and 10% of them are EV cars.
$\mathrm{Number\; of\; EV\; cars\; sold\; by\; B}=10\%\times 550=55$
The remaining cars sold by B (which consist of only petrol and diesel cars) are:
$\mathrm{Petrol}+\mathrm{Diesel}=550-55=495$
We are given that the difference between the petrol and diesel cars sold by B is 85, and petrol cars sold are more than diesel cars (Petrol > Diesel):
$\mathrm{Petrol}-\mathrm{Diesel}=85$
Subtracting the second equation from the first equation gives:
$2\times \mathrm{Diesel}=495-85=410$
$\mathrm{Diesel\; cars\; sold\; by\; B}=\frac{410}{2}=205$

Step 2: Calculate the number of petrol cars sold by Company C
The total number of cars sold by C is 360, and 30% of them are EV cars.
$\mathrm{Number\; of\; EV\; cars\; sold\; by\; C}=30\%\times 360=108$
The remaining cars sold by C (petrol and diesel cars) are:
$\mathrm{Petrol}+\mathrm{Diesel}=360-108=252$
The difference between petrol and diesel cars sold by C is 52 (with Petrol > Diesel):
$\mathrm{Petrol}-\mathrm{Diesel}=52$
Adding these two equations together gives:
$2\times \mathrm{Petrol}=252+52=304$
$\mathrm{Petrol\; cars\; sold\; by\; C}=\frac{304}{2}=152$

Step 3: Find the difference between the two values
We need to find how many more or less the diesel cars sold by B (205) are compared to the petrol cars sold by C (152):
$\mathrm{Difference}=205-152=53$
Therefore, the total number of diesel cars sold by B is 53 more than the total number of petrol cars sold by C.
