Answer the following questions with the given information and the data:
ABC Ltd. supplies a health drink in various cities of India. The drink is available in two packs of 500 ml and 1000 ml. Samples are used for promotion of the product whereas the wastage can happen because of breakage, leakage etc. In 2018, the total of sales, samples distributed and wastage of the both pack sizes was 13380. The ratio of wastage to samples of packs of 500 ml and 1000 ml combined together, in all cities is 5:3.
What is the number of units of both pack sizes distributed as samples in Jaipur city in 2018?
1. 198
2. 210
3. 223
4. 232
Using the given information in the table, the complete table of samples sold becomes as shown below.
Thus, the total number of samples sold = $$7250+2130=9380$$
Thus, the number of samples distributed or wasted = $$13380โ9380=4000$$
The number of wasted and used samples are in the ratio $$5:3.$$
Thus, the number of waster samples = $$\frac{4000}{8}\times 5=2500$$
The number of samples used = $$4000-2500=1500$$
Thus, the number of units of both packs distributed in Jaipur = $$0.14\times 1500=210$$
Hence, the answer is option B.
