1 .
 Answer : Option C Explanation : Total no.of soap cakes produced per day of brand P by all the three companies = 400 x $10\over 100$ + 300 x $40 \over 100$ + 500 x $20\over 100$ = 260 Total no.of soap caked produced per day of brand C by all the three companies = 400 x $60\over 100$ x 300 x $40\over 100$ + 500 x $30\over 100$ = 510 Total no.of soap cakes produced per day of brand S by all the three companies = 400 x $30\over 100$ + 300 x $20 \over 100$ + 500 x $50 \over 100$ = 430 Hence the least no.of soap cakes produced per day by all the three companies is of brand P.
2 .
 Answer : Option A Explanation : $1\over 10$ x Total no.of cakes produced by the all the companies / day= $1\over 10$ x 260 + 510 + 430 = $1200 \over 10$ = 120 Company X produced 120 S cakes per day.
3 .
 Answer : Option C Explanation : Number of cakes of brand P produced day by Y = 120Number of cakes of brand C produced per day by Z is 150.Hence required ratio= $120\over 150$ = $4\over 5$ = 4 : 5
4 .
