What is the total number of rejected sports shoes in 2022 by all the companies together?
A835000 ✓ Correct
B835020
C835040
D835080
Correct answer: (A) 835000
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.
