Percentage production of B type cars in 1997 = that in 1996 (given)
= (40 − 15) 25% of 520000Correct Option: C
Percentage production of B type cars in 1997 = that in 1996 (given)
= (40 − 15) 25% of 520000 = 130000.

Production of A type cars in 1997 = production of A type cars in 1996 (given) = (100 − 85) 5% of 450000 = 67500
Correct Option: B
Production of A type cars in 1997 = production of A type cars in 1996 (given) = (100 − 85) 5% of 450000 = 67500
∴ Required Percentage = 67500 X 100 ≈ 13 520000
- If 85% of E type cars produced during 1996 and 1997 are being sold by the company, then how many E type cars are left unsold by the company?

Production of E type cars in 1996 = (100 − 80)% of 450000
Production of E type cars in 1996 = 20% of 450000 = 90000
And in 1997 = 10% of 520000 = 52000Correct Option: E
Production of E type cars in 1996 = (100 − 80)% of 450000
Production of E type cars in 1996 = 20% of 450000 = 90000
And in 1997 = 10% of 520000 = 52000
∴ Total production = 90000 + 52000 = 142000.
∴ Required number of cars = 15% of 142000 = 21300
