- A. 10
B. 25
C. 40
D. 55
The total number of cakes sold by bakery R and T together on January
[latex]\Rightarrow 250 + 360 = 610[/latex]
The total number of cakes sold by bakery P and S together on April
[latex]\Rightarrow 340 + 260 = 600[/latex]
Required difference = 610 – 600 = 10
Q2

- A. 260
B. 290

D. 275
The average number of cakes sold by bakery P on all the given months together
[latex]\Rightarrow \frac {(280 + 220 + 260 + 340)}{4}[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow \frac {1100}{4} = 275[/latex]
Q3
Find the ratio between the total number of cakes sold by bakery Q on January and March together to that of total number of cakes sold by bakery S on March and April together?
- A. 17 : 12
B. 13 : 10
C. 25 : 19
D. 34 : 27
The total number of cakes sold by bakery Q on January and March together
[latex]\Rightarrow 320 + 330 = 650[/latex]
The total number of cakes sold by bakery S on March and April together
[latex]\Rightarrow 240 + 260 = 500[/latex]
Required ratio = 650 : 500 = 13 : 10
Q4

Total number of cakes sold by bakery R, S and T together on March
[latex]\Rightarrow 340 + 240 + 250 = 830[/latex]
Required % = [latex](\frac {700}{830}) \times 100 = 84.33 % = 84 %[/latex]
Q5

- A. 330
B. 350
C. 320
D. 360
The total number of cakes sold by bakery P on May
[latex]\Rightarrow [\frac {(280 + 220 + 260 + 340)}{4}] \times (\frac {120}{100})[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow (\frac {1100}{4}) \times (\frac {6}{5})[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow 330[/latex]
