20% of the toys produced in a factory were defective and 25% of the remaining were damaged. If 4800 toys were in good condition, then what was the original number of toys produced?
1. 9000
2. 8000
3. 10000
4. 6000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 8000

No. of toys in good condition = 4800

Concept used:

Percentage of distribution

Calculation:

Let the number of toys originally was x

According to the question,

x × 4/5 × 3/4 = 4800

⇒ 3x/5 = 4800

⇒ x = 4800 × 5/3

⇒ x = 8000

∴ The original number of toys produced was 8000
