We can find the number of LED bulbs sold by $Y$ during April – June $2018$ by adding up the monthly units sold.

  • LED bulbs sold in April by $Y = \dfrac{2}{5} \times 15\% = 6\%$
  • LED bulbs sold in May by $Y = \dfrac{4}{5} \times 10\% = 8\%$
  • LED bulbs sold in June by $Y = \dfrac{11}{20} \times 10\% = 5.5\%$

Total LED bulbs sold by $Y$ during April-June $= (6 + 8 + 5.5)\% = 19.5\%.$

The total number of LED bulbs sold by the two firms during April-June $ = 50000 (15\%+10\%+10\% = 35\%).$

  • $35\% \longrightarrow 50000$ 
  • $19.5\% \longrightarrow \left(\dfrac{50000}{35} \right) \times 19.5 = 27857.1428.$
