Correct Answer: 200 less


Solution : From the table, we can see that the number of products sold by A on Thursday is not given, and the number of products sold by B on Tuesday is also not given.
However, we know the total products sold by A and B in all four days.
The total products sold by A in three days (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday) is 1000 + 500 + 800 = 2300.
So, the products sold by A on Thursday are 3000 (total) – 2300 = 700.
Similarly, the total products sold by B in three days (Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday) is 800 + 1000 + 1200 = 3000.
So, the products sold by B on Tuesday are 3500 (total) – 3000 = 500.
Therefore, the products sold by B on Tuesday are 700 – 500 = 200 products less than the products sold by A on Thursday.
Hence, the correct answer is 200 less.
