Given: Maximum 20% of the matchsticks are defective.
Minimum number of intact matches in 43-stick matchbox =?
Maximum 20% are defective
=> 20% of 43 = \(\frac{20}{100}\) * 43 = 8.6
=> Maximum of 8 matchsticks can be defective.
=> Minimum number of intact matches = 43 - 8 = 35 matches.
So, correct answer is option B.

Let's say there are a total of 100 matchboxes.
Defective: no more than 20% = Defective ≤ \(\frac{20}{100} * 100= 20\)
Intact ≥ \(\frac{80}{100} * 100= 80\)
For minimum intact, defective should be maximum, and hence out of 100 -> 20 are defective and 80 are intact.
=> 100: 80 : 43 : x
=> x = 34.4 ~ 35
Answer B
Defective: no more than 20% = Defective ≤ \(\frac{20}{100} * 100= 20\)
Intact ≥ \(\frac{80}{100} * 100= 80\)
For minimum intact, defective should be maximum, and hence out of 100 -> 20 are defective and 80 are intact.
=> 100: 80 : 43 : x
=> x = 34.4 ~ 35
Answer B
