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.
Which of the following cities has lowest wastage compared to total units sold in the year 2018?
1. Delhi

Thus, the total number of samples sold = $$7250+2130=9380$$
Thus, the number of samples distributed or wasted = $$13380-9380=4000$$
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 = $$4000-2500=1500$$
