Of the new vehicles registered in a week, 300 were neither SUVs nor were they powered by diesel. 3/4th of the SUVs registered were diesel powered and there were half as many SUVs as there were non SUVs. If SUVs not powered by diesel were a sixth of non SUVs not powered by diesel, how many vehicles V registered in the week were powered by diesel?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Supposing that 'x' is the number of vehicles of SUV.
0.25*x = non diesel SUV
0.75*x = diesel SUV
0.5*x = only diesel
By supposition,
0.25*x = 1/6*300
=>x = 200
Therefore, number of vehicles powered by diesel is V =150+100 = 250=D
