Show Answer

Correct Answer: (3)

Solution: (3) Total number of available bags in stores $P$ and $R$

$=(20+15) \%$ of 600

$=\frac{600 \times 35}{100}=210$

Total number of available bags in stores $S$ and $T$

$=(14+26) \%$ of 600

$=\frac{600 \times 40}{100}=240$

Required difference

$=\frac{1}{2}(240-210)=\frac{30}{2}=15$
