1000

D.
1250
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
P produces 20,000 bags
P reduces production by 5%
i.e. reduction = \(\frac{5}{100}\) x \(\frac{20000}{1}\)
= 1000
Q produces 15000 bags
Q increases production by 5%
i.e. increase = \(\frac{5}{100}\) x \(\frac{15000}{1}\)
= 750
Effective loss by the two = 1000 - 750
= 250 bags
