Direction: Study the given information carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The given below graph shows the percentage distribution of the number of cakes baked by 5 shops (A, B, C, D and E) on a given day. Total number of cakes baked by the 5 shops were 400.
Note:
Number of cakes unsold = Number of cakes baked – Number of cakes ordered
All the ordered cakes are to be considered as cakes sold.
The number of cakes that were unsold from shops A, B and C, 25% were given to the beggars. Of the remaining, 25% were eaten by the staff of the shops while the rest were sold the next day at 10% loss. If, each cake costed Rs. 250 to bake for all the shops, what was the total amount earned from these cakes?
Rs. 7800
Incorrect Answer Rs. 8400
Incorrect AnswerRs. 9450
Incorrect AnswerRs. 7300
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
No. of cakes unsold from shops A, B and C = 16 + 20 + 28 = 64
No. of cakes given to beggars = 25% of 64 = 16
No. of cakes eaten by staff = 25% of (64 – 16) = 12
Remaining cakes = 64 – 16 – 12 = 36
Amount earned by selling 36 cakes = 36 × 250 × 0.9 = Rs. 8100
