IMO answe is E:
total number of items after 2 years = 2420
so, at this point i looked into the answer choices and checked if the total items can exceed 2420,
given if 260 is the max, then min can be 260-20*260/100 = 208.
if 208 in all 9 shops then 208*9+260<2420, so 260 is possible max
total number of items after 2 years = 2420
so, at this point i looked into the answer choices and checked if the total items can exceed 2420,
given if 260 is the max, then min can be 260-20*260/100 = 208.
if 208 in all 9 shops then 208*9+260<2420, so 260 is possible max

Total no of items after 2 years = 2000X(1.1)^2 = 2420
open 10 more shops. Total shops = 11
Condition
>>no shop can have more than 20% items than any other shop
To find max items in one shop.
To max items in one shop.
let other 10 shops has equal number of items.
let 100x be the items in 10 store and 120x items in the store with max items.
10(100x) + 120x = 2420
==> 120x =~ 260
Hence, E is the Answer.
