Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
I. The number of pencil sold by A in P and Q together is 31.72 percent more than the number of pencil sold by B in S and T together .
Pencil sold by A in P & Q = 150 + 140 = 290
Pencil sold by B in S & T = 130 + 125 = 255
Required percentage = \(\frac{35}{255}\) × 100 = 13.72%
Statement I is incorrect.
II. The number of pencil sold by B in Q and R together is 105.88 percent of the number of pencil sold by A in P and T together.
Pencil sold by B in Q & R = 110 + 160 = 270
Pencil sold by A in P & T = 150 + 105 = 255
Required percentage = \(\frac{270}{255}\) × 100 = 105.88%
