What is the number of type 2 widgets produced, if the total number of widgets produced is 20,000?
Statement 1. If the production of type - 1 widgets increases by 10% and that of type-2 decreases by 6%,
the total production remains the same. Statement 2. The ratio in which type - 1 and type - 2 widgets are

Show answer & explanation
Answer: C. C) using both 1st and 2nd statement
then we get the basic equation [A + B = 20,000] from the data in the question. From 1st statement, we
get [1.1 A + 0.94 B = 20,000].
This is enough to give us the value of B. Similarly from 2nd statement, we get A = 2B. This is enough to
give us the value of B.
