Direction : Study the following table and answer the questions that follow : Number of units produced and sold by six factories (A, B, C, D, E and F) during a yearFactory Units Produced Units Sold A 400 320 B 500 400 C 600 450 D 700 560 E 800 600 F 1000 800
If 80 units of Factory F’s production are transferred to Factory A, while the number of units sold by both factories remains unchanged, what will be the ratio of the revised unsold units of Factory A to the revised unsold units of Factory F ?
4 : 3
A transfer of production raises one factory’s output and lowers the other’s by the same amount; with sales fixed, unsold units change by that amount too.
Step 1 — Revised production of A = 400 + 80 = 480; sold = 320; revised unsold = 480 − 320 = 160.
Step 2 — Revised production of F = 1000 − 80 = 920; sold = 800; revised unsold = 920 − 800 = 120.
Step 3 — Ratio = 160 : 120 = 4 : 3.
Ratios such as 10 : 11, 8 : 9 or 9 : 10 would make A’s unsold stock smaller than F’s, which is not the case after the transfer.
4 : 3 option is correct.
