   For A amount spent, On Wed = 57, On Tuesday = 74, % decrease = 17/74 * 100 = 22.9%
   For B amount spent, On Wed = 74, On Tuesday = 77, % decrease = 3/77 * 100 = 3.9%
   For C amount spent, On Wed = 54, On Tuesday = 63, % decrease = 9/63 * 100 = 14.3%
   For D amount spent, On Wed = 66, On Tuesday = 90, % decrease = 24/90 * 100 = 26.67%

   Amount spent on B = 102
   Amount spent on C = 168
   Amount spent on D = 88
   So required ratio = 168 : 88 = 21 : 11

   View Answer

   Option D
   Solution:
   A products sold = 1070
   Let total number of all products sold = x
   So 107/360 * x = 1070, Solve x = 3600
   D products sold = 75/360 * 3600 = 750
   So profit on these 750 D products = 750*22 = Rs 16500
8. If only 84% of the total available C products in the shop were sold, then what is the number of unsold C products?
   A) 110
   B) 140
   C) 120
   D) 150
   E) None of these
   
   View Answer

   Option C
   Solution:
   Total products sold = 3600
   So C products sold = 63/360 * 3600 = 630
   Now 84% were sold. So 84/100 * x = 630
   So total C products in the shop were x = 750
   So unsold C products = 750-630 = 120
9. What is the ratio between the number of sold A and E products together and remaining products together?
   A) 7 : 11
   B) 8 : 13
   C) 5 : 11
   D) 8 : 15
   E) 9 : 15
