Question

The following charts show the sales share of five companies (A, B, C, D and E) for two fertilizer products, Fertilizer-P and Fertilizer-Q. The Fertilizer-P sale of company C is 2520 Kg and the Fertilizer-Q sale of company B is 3150 Kg.

In the year 2021, if the price of Fertilizer-P was Rs 320 per Kg and Fertilizer-Q was Rs 280 per Kg for all companies, what was the fertilizer sales revenue from company E in Rs?

• A. 1213200
• B. 1854200
• C. 2246300
• D. 1965200

Hint:

Find company E's quantity in each product separately, multiply each by its own price, then add the two revenues.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Total Fertilizer-P = 12000 Kg, so company E's Fertilizer-P sale = 13% of 12000 = 1560 Kg. Revenue from Fertilizer-P = 1560 x 320 = Rs 499200.
Step 2: Total Fertilizer-Q = 15000 Kg, so company E's Fertilizer-Q sale = 17% of 15000 = 2550 Kg. Revenue from Fertilizer-Q = 2550 x 280 = Rs 714000.
Step 3: Total revenue from company E = 499200 + 714000 = Rs 1213200.
