Statement I:
Number of Pencil sold by A in P and Q together = 150 + 140 = 290
Number of Pencil sold by B in S and T together = 130 + 125 = 255
Percent of number of pencil sold by A in P and Q together to number of pencil sold by B in S and T together = 290 / 255 × 100 = 113.72%
The number of pencil sold by A in P and Q together is 13.72 percent more than the number of pencil sold by B in S and T together.
∴ Statement I is wrong.
Statement II:
Number of Pencil sold by B in Q and R together = 110 + 160 = 270
Number of Pencil sold by A in P and T together = 150 + 105 = 255
Percent of the number of pencil sold by B in Q and R together to the number of pencil sold by A in P and T together = 270/255 × 100 = 105.88%
Statement II is correct.
∴ Option 3 is the correct answer.
