250
B
750
C
1000
D
1250
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
P produces 20,000 bags
P reduces production by 5%
i.e. reduction = (\frac{5}{100}) x (\frac{20000}{1})
= 1000
Q produces 15000 bags
Q increases production by 5%
i.e. increase = (\frac{5}{100}) x (\frac{15000}{1})
= 750
Effective loss by the two = 1000 - 750
= 250 bags
