Read the following information carefully and answer the questions bas...
On Monday,
Number of red roses sold = 28%
Number of White roses sold = 32%
Number of Lilies sold = (100 – 60)% = 40%
On Tuesday,
Number of Red roses sold = 26%
Number of White roses sold = 32%
Number of Lilies sold = (100 – 58)% = 42%
On Wednesday,
Number of Red roses sold = 20%
Number of White roses sold = 28%
Number of Lilies sold = (100 – 48)% = 52%
On Thursday,
Number of Red roses sold = 28%
Number of White roses sold = 12%
Number of Lilies sold = (100 – 40)% = 60%
On Friday,
Number of Red roses sold = 48%
Number of White roses sold = 28%
Number of Lilies sold = (100 – 76)% = 24%
Let the number of flowers sold on Tuesday = 100a
Number of Red roses sold = 26a
Number of White roses sold = 32a
Number of Lilies sold = 42a
Let the number of flowers sold on Wednesday = 100b
Number of Red roses sold = 20b
Number of White roses sold = 28b
Number of Lilies sold = 52b
According to question,
Number ofRed roses sold on Wednesday – Number of red roses sold on Tuesday = 40
20b – 26a = 40--------(1)
Number ofLilies sold on Wednesday – Number of lilies sold on Tuesday = 360
52b – 42a = 360--------(1)
Solving equation 1 and 2, we get,
128a = 1280
a = 10
And sub a = 10 in equation 1,
Then, b = 15
Number of White roses sold on Tuesday: Number of white roses sold on Wednesday = 16:21
Hence, answer is option E
