Question:

A mask manufacturing company manufactured 'X' number of masks in 2018. It increased its manufacturing capacity by 30% in 2019 and further increased its manufacturing by 15% in 2020. In 2021, due to the machinery breakdown, its manufacturing declined by 40%. What is the value of 'X' if it manufactured 179400 masks in 2021 ?

Options:

180000

230000

200000

210000

Correct Answer:

200000

Explanation:

X × \(\frac{130}{100}\) × \(\frac{115}{100}\)× \(\frac{60}{100}\) = 179400

X × \(\frac{13}{10}\) × \(\frac{23}{20}\)× \(\frac{3}{5}\) = 179400

X = 2,00,000
