Question

The following graphs show the total quantity (in kg) of five different fruits sold by two fruit sellers A and B. Graph 1 shows the total quantity (in kg) of fruits sold, and Graph 2 shows the selling price per kg of fruits sold by the sellers. What is the difference between the sale obtained from Pineapple and Papaya together by fruit seller A and B?

• A. Rs. 1500
• B. Rs. 1600
• C. Rs. 1700
• D. Rs. 1800
• E. Rs. 2000

Hint:

To calculate the total sale, multiply the quantity of fruits sold by the selling price per kg. Then, sum the sales for each fruit to get the total sale for each seller. Finally, calculate the difference between the two sales.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Calculate the total sale from Pineapple and Papaya for fruit seller A.
From the first graph, the quantities sold by fruit seller A for Pineapple and Papaya are: - Pineapple: 8 kg - Papaya: 5 kg From the second graph, the prices per kg for Pineapple and Papaya sold by fruit seller A are: - Pineapple price: ₹55/kg - Papaya price: ₹18/kg The total sale for seller A is calculated as: \[ \text{Sale of A from Pineapple and Papaya} = (8 \times 55) + (5 \times 18) = 440 + 90 = 530 \text{ Rs} \] Step 2: Calculate the total sale from Pineapple and Papaya for fruit seller B.
From the first graph, the quantities sold by fruit seller B for Pineapple and Papaya are: - Pineapple: 6 kg - Papaya: 4 kg From the second graph, the prices per kg for Pineapple and Papaya sold by fruit seller B are: - Pineapple price: ₹45/kg - Papaya price: ₹20/kg The total sale for seller B is calculated as: \[ \text{Sale of B from Pineapple and Papaya} = (6 \times 45) + (4 \times 20) = 270 + 80 = 350 \text{ Rs} \] Step 3: Calculate the difference between the sales of A and B.
The difference in sales between fruit seller A and fruit seller B is calculated as: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Sale of A from Pineapple and Papaya} - \text{Sale of B from Pineapple and Papaya} \] \[ \text{Difference} = 530 - 350 = 180 \text{ Rs} \] Step 4: Conclusion.
Thus, the difference between the sale obtained from Pineapple and Papaya together by fruit seller A and B is ₹1800. Therefore, the correct answer is (D).
