Passage / Data

Direction: Answer the questions based on the following information.

A company produces five types of shirts — A, B, C, D and E — using cloth of three qualities — high, medium and low -, using dyes of three qualities — high, medium and low. One shirt requires 1.5 m of cloth. The following table gives respectively:
1. The number of shirts (of each category) produced, in thousands
2. The percentage distribution of cloth quality in each type of shirt, and
3. The percentage distribution of dye quality in each type of shirt.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What is the ratio of low-quality dye used for C-type shirts to that used for D- type shirts?

Answer & solution

  • A

    3 : 2

  • 2 : 1

  • C

    1 : 2

  • D

    2 : 3

Solution

Amount of low quality die used for C-type shirts = (40% of 30000) = 12,000 units.
Amount of low quality die used for D-type shirts = (60% of 10000) = 6,000 units.
Hence, required ratio = (120006000) = 2 : 1.
