The table below shows the total number of volleyballs, bats, and footballs sold on five different days. It also shows the ratio of bats to footballs and the difference between bats and footballs. Days | Total sold | Bats:Footballs | Difference between bats and footballs Monday | 140 | 5:1 | 60 Tuesday | 129 | 2:1 | 38 Wednesday | 100 | 1:3 | 40 Thursday | 140 | 3:2 | 20 Friday | 130 | 1:1 | 0 Note: The total number of volleyballs sold on Monday is equal to the total number of footballs sold on Friday. On Wednesday, 20% of the equipment sold is defective, out of which 9 are bats, and the ratio of defective volleyballs to defective footballs is 5:6. Find the number of defective bats and footballs sold.

  1. 24
  2. 15
  3. 16
  4. 20

Correct answer: 15

Solution

On Wednesday, total sold = 100, so defective items = 20% of 100 = 20. Out of these, 9 are bats, leaving 11 defective items as volleyballs and footballs in the ratio 5:6, so the defective bats and footballs together are 11. The question asks for defective bats and footballs sold, which is 9 + 6 = 15 based on the ratio split.
