How many bikes are there in the housing society in all?

1. 50
2. 115
3. 65
4. 125

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 115

Total number of families = 200

1. 70 have a car each but have no bike.

2. 50 families have a bike and a car each

3. 65 families have only a bike each.

The remaining families have neither a car nor a bike.

Number of bikes in the housing society in all = Number of families that have a bike and a car each + Number of families that have only a bike each

= 50 + 65

= 115

Hence, ‘115’ is the correct answer.
