Direction: Seven companies A, B, C, D, E, F and G are engaged in production of 2 items I and II. The comparative data about production of these items by the 7 companies is given in the following graph and Table. Study them carefully and answer the questions given below.
-
What is the total cost of the production of item I by companies A and C together in $ million?
-
- 9.25
- 5.9
- 4.1625
- 4.9
- None of these
Correct Option: B
Given :- cost of the total production by companies = $ 25
For A company ,
Ratio of total production = 5 , Ratio of total production of item I = 2
% of total production produced by A = 15%
For C company ,
Ratio of total production = 5 , Ratio of total production of item I = 4
% of total production produced by C = 22%
Required Total cost = cost of the production of item I by company A + cost of the production of item I by company C
| Total cost = | 2 | x | 15 | x | 25 | + | 4 | x | 22 | x | 25 |
| 5 | 100 | 5 | 100 |
= 1.5 + 4.4 = 5.9 million
