If 85 percent of the Type-E cars produced during 2019 and 2020 together are sold by the company, how many Type-E cars are left unsold?
A21825
B29100
C25200
D21300 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 21300
Explanation
The answer is 21300.
Type-E in 2019 is 20 percent of 4,50,000, which is 90000.
Type-E in 2020 is 10 percent of 5,20,000, which is 52000.
So the total Type-E production is 142000.
With 85 percent sold, 15 percent remains unsold.
That is 15 percent of 142000, which is 21300.
So the answer is 21300.
