Answers & Solutions:
1. a Total requirement of cloth
= Total number of shirts × Cloth required per shirt
 = (20 + 30 + 30 + 10 + 10) × 1000 × 1.5 = 1,50,000 m.

2. b Total low quality cloth consumed
= 1.5 (30% of 30000 + 30% of 30000 + 40% of 10000
+ 90% of 10000) = 46,500 m.

3. c Total quantity of high quality cloth consumed by A-type
shirts = (80% of 20000) × 1.5 = 24,000 m.

4. d We only know the relationship between the type of shirt
and cloth used and type of shirt and dye used. We
cannot find any relationship between type of cloth and
dye used.

5. b Amount of low quality die used for C-type shirts
= (40% of 30000) = 12,000 units.
Amount of low quality die used for D-type shirts
= (60% of 10000) = 6,000 units.
Hence, required ratio = 2:1
