In a stockpile of products produced by three machines M1, M2 and M3, 40% and 30% were manufactured by M1 and M2 respectively. 3% of the products of M1 are defective, 1% of products of M2 defective, while 94% of the products of M3 III are not defective. What is the percentage of defective in the stockpile?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers: A) 3.3% B) 5% C) 2.5% D) 4% E) 6%
Explanation :   Let there be 100 products in the stockpile. 40% and 30% were manufactured by M1 and M2 respectively. So, 30% are manufactured by M3.   Products from M1 = 40, from M2 = 30 and from M3 = 30.   Number of defective products from M1 = 0.03 x 40 = 1.2, from M2 = 0.01 x 30 = 0.3 and from M3 = 0.06 x 30 = 1.8   Therefore, total number of defective products = 3.3   3.3%nswer : 3.3%
