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
