Question

33%
of a man's daily output is equal to 50% of a second man's daily
output. If the second man manufactures 1500 screws daily, then the
first man's output in terms of making screws is:
a) 500
b) 1000
c) 2000 d) 2250

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first man’s output be x

Then, 33(1/3)% of x = 50% of 1500 => 100/3 x 1/100 of x  = 50/100 x 1500 => 1/3x = 750 => x = 750 x 3 = 2250 . Hence the answer is (d)
