Re: If salesperson A sold 35% more motorcycles than salesperson [#permalink]
2
Let B sell x number of motorbike then A would sell 1.35x number of motorbike. In combination they would sell 2.35x number of bikes. Divide all the ans choices by 2.35 only first and last option will give an integer value for x. As one cannot sell a fraction of a bike.

If salesperson A sold 35% more motorcycles than salesperson [#permalink]
A = B + 35/100 * B = B + 7B/20 = 27B/20

Total: A + B = 27B/20 + B = 47B/20 = 47/20 * B

The least value of B is 20 to make the total motorcycles count an integer.
So, the Total possible motorcycles count is 47 or multiples of 47.

Ans: A, D
