Question

A company is manufacturing three different products – Glass, Plate and Bowl. The number of Plates is double the number of Glasses. The number of Glasses manufactured is twice the number of Bowls. What is the difference between the number of Plates and the number of Bowls if the total units manufactu

Accepted Answer

Let the number of Bowls manufactured be

x

. According to the question:The number of Glasses is twice the number of Bowls:

Glasses = 2 x

The number of Plates is double the number of Glasses:

Plates = 2 \times (2 x) = 4 x

The total number of units manufactured is

2380

:

Glass + Plate + Bowl = 2380

2 x + 4 x + x = 2380

7 x = 2380

x = \frac{2380}{7} = 340

Now, we need to find the difference between the number of Plates and Bowls:

Difference = Plates - Bowls = 4 x - x = 3 x

Difference = 3 \times 340 = 1020
