Answer 1

The options for this question are missing. here are the missing options:

A) 3000

B) 2000

C) 4000

D) 2500

E) 3500

Answer:

The correct answer is option B) 2000

s + b = 5000 -> equation (1)

Each small slice is sold for Rs. 150

and each large slice is sold for Rs. 250

So the total value of sales:

= 150s + 250b = 10,50,000

150s + 250b = 10,50,000 -> equation (2)

150s + 150b = 7,50,000

100b = 3,00,000

b = 3000

s + b = 5000

s = 5000 - b = 5000 - 3000 = 2000

So that means 2000 small slices were sold.
