Question

Five different companies, P, Q, R, S, and T, manufacture plastic and wooden bats. These bats are labelled as Brand A or Brand B. The table shows the number of wooden bats as a percentage of the total bats manufactured by each company. It also shows the ratio of plastic bats labelled as Brand A to Brand B. Each company manufactures 1,00,000 bats. Taking all companies together, how many plastic bats of Brand B have been manufactured?

D.

80,500

Correct option is B

Given:
Total bats manufactured by each company = 1,00,000
Wooden bats as a percentage for each company is provided.
The ratio of plastic bats labelled as Brand A to Brand B for each company is provided.
Formula Used:
Number of plastic bats = Total bats - Number of wooden bats
Number of Brand B plastic bats = (Ratio of Brand B / Total ratio) × Number of plastic bats
Solution:
For Company P
Wooden bats = 65% of 1,00,000 = 65,000
Plastic bats = 1,00,000−65,000 = 35,000
Brand A : Brand B = 3:7 → Fraction of Brand B = 73+7\frac{7}{3+7}​ = 710\frac{7}{10}​ 
Plastic bats of Brand B = 35,000 × 710\frac{7}{10}​ = 24,500
For Company Q
Wooden bats = 70% of 1,00,000 = 70,000
Plastic bats = 1,00,000−70,000=30,000
Brand A : Brand B = 7:8 → Fraction of Brand B =87+8 \frac{8}{7+8}​ = 815\frac{8}{15}​​​
Plastic bats of Brand B = 30,000×81530,000 \times \frac{8}{15}​ = 16,000
For Company R
Wooden bats = 60% of 1,00,000 = 60,000
Plastic bats = 1,00,000 − 60,000 = 40,000
Brand A : Brand B = 19:6 → Fraction of Brand B = 619+6\frac{6}{19+6}​ = 625\frac{6}{25}​​
Plastic bats of Brand B = 40,000×62540,000 \times \frac{6}{25}​ = 9,600
For Company S
Wooden bats = 70% of 1,00,000 = 70,000
Plastic bats = 1,00,000−70,000 = 30,000
Brand A : Brand B = 7:8 → Fraction of Brand B = 87+8\frac{8}{7+8} ​= 815\frac{8}{15}​​
Plastic bats of Brand B = 30,000×81530,000 \times \frac{8}{15}​ = 16,000
For Company T
Wooden bats = 50% of 1,00,000 = 50,000
Plastic bats = 1,00,000 − 50,000 = 50,000
Brand A : Brand B = 2:3 → Fraction of Brand B = 32+3=35 \frac{3}{2+3} = \frac{3}{5}​​
Plastic bats of Brand B = 50,000×35=30,00050,000 \times \frac{3}{5} = 30,000​​
Total plastic bats of Brand B:
24,500 + 16,000 + 9,600 + 16,000 + 30,000 = 96,100
Thus, the total number of plastic bats of Brand B manufactured by all companies is 96,100.
