The following table shows, for six companies A to F, the percentage distribution of the total number of products P and Q produced by them, the ratio of P to Q for each company, and the percentage sale of P and of Q. The total number of products P and Q produced by these companies together is 8 lakh. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow.

What is the difference between the total number of products P and Q produced by company F?

A12400
B12800 ✓ Correct
C13150
D14150
Correct answer: (B) 12800
Explanation

The difference is 12800, so the answer is 12800.

Company F produces 0.64 lakh products P and Q together.

These are split between P and Q in the ratio given for company F.

Working out P's share and Q's share from that ratio and subtracting gives the gap.

That difference comes to 0.128 lakh.

In plain numbers 0.128 lakh is 12800.

So the answer is 12800.
