A835000 ✓ Correct
B835020
C835040
D835080
Correct answer: (A) 835000 — The total rejected is 835,000, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The total rejected is 835,000, so that is the answer.
★Each company's rejects are its 2022 production times its rejection percentage.
★Adding the rejected shares gives 75 plus 130 plus 64 plus 216 plus 140 plus 90 plus 120 in hundred-thousandths.
★That sum is 835 units of one-hundredth of a lakh.
★Multiplying by 100000 over 100 gives 835,000.
★Hence 835,000 is correct.
