Correct Answer: 0.061


Solution : Given that,
N = Wooden bats of Brand B manufactured by U
For company U,
The total number of bats is 550000, and 75% are plastic bats.
The number of wooden bats is 25%.
So, the number of wooden bats = 550000 × $\frac{25}{100}$ = 137500
The ratio of Brand A to Brand B wooden bats for company U is 41 : 14.
So, N = 137500 × $\frac{14}{55}$ = 35000
M = Total wooden bats manufactured by R and W together
For company R, 55% of the bats are plastic, and 45% are wooden.
$\therefore$ Number of wooden bats = 550000 × $\frac{45}{100}$ = 247500
For company W, 40% of the bats are plastic and 60% are wooden.
$\therefore$ Number of wooden bats = 550000 × $\frac{60}{100}$ = 330000
So, M = 247500 + 330000 = 577500
⇒ $\frac{N}{M} = \frac{35000}{577500}$ = 0.061
Hence, the correct answer is 0.061.
