Assume there are 100 suppliers of widgets in the widget market. Half of these suppliers supply 35 widgets to the market each, a quarter of these suppliers supply 40 widgets to the market each, and a quarter of these suppliers supply 50 widgets to the market each. What is the market supply for widgets?

a. 100

b. 125

c. 400

d. 4,000

e. 1, 750

Total widgets supplied in the market will be 4000

So option (d) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given total number of suppliers = 100

It is given that half of the suppliers supply 35 widgets

So 50 supplier supply 35 widgets each

So total number widgets supplied by 50 supplier = 50*35 = 1750

A quarter, that is 25 supplier supply 40 widgets

So widgets supplied by 25 supplier = 25*40 = 1000

And other quarter, that is 25 supplier supply 50 widgets each

So widgets supplied by 25 supplier = 25*50 = 1250

So total widgets supplied in the market will be = 1750+1000+1250 = 4000

So option (d) will be correct answer
