Question

The total tractor population in a State is 294000, out of which 150000 are made by Mahindra & Mahindra. Out of every 1000 Mahindra tractors, 98 are red in colour. But only 5.3% of the total tractor population is red. Find the percentage of non-Mahindra tractors that are red.

• A. 3%
• B. 5.025%
• C. 5.130%
• D. 6.140%

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

3%

Answer 2

Mahindra red tractor $=\frac{98}{100}\times(150000)=147000$

Total red tractor $=294000\times53=155820$

Non-Mahindra red tractor $=155820-147000$

$=8820$

i.e $\frac{8820}{294000}$

=.03

=3$\%$.So the correct option is (A)
