    After selling 30% of his stock, Arjun was left with 45

    fewer items than 65% of the total stock he had at the beginning. How many items did Arjun sell?
    A 270 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 144 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 140 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the total number of items Arjun had be ‘x’

    According to the question,

    0.7x = 0.65x – 45

    Or, x = 45 / (0.05) = 900

    Therefore, number of items sold by Arjun = 0.3x = 270
