41.  Study the following pie-chart and table carefully and answer the questions given below:
Percentage-wise Distribution of the Number of Mobile phones Sold by a Shopkeeper During Six Months. Ratio of mobile phones sold of Company A & Company B.
Direction image of Pie Chart chapter
Total number if mobile phones sold = 45000
Month Ratio (A : B)
July 8 : 7
August 4 : 5
September 3 : 2
October 7 : 5
November 7 : 8
December 7 : 9

If 35% of the mobile phones sold by company A during November were sold at a discount, how many mobile phones of company A were sold without a discount, during that month?

Discuss
Solution:
Number of mobile phones sold by A during November
=45000×12100×715=2520
Number of phones sold by A in November without discount
=2520×65100=1638

October 7 : 5
November 7 : 8
December 7 : 9

What is the total number of mobile phones Sold of company B during August and September together?

Discuss
Solution:
Mobile phones of B sold during August
=45000×22100×59=5500
Mobile phones of B sold during September
=45000×25100×25=4500
∴ Required number of phones sold
  = 5500 + 4500
  = 10000

(Number of girls enrolled in Arts) : (Number of boys enrolled in Science)
= 570 : (770 - 165)
= 570 : 605
= 114 : 121
