A) F

B) C

C) B

D) D

E) None of these

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Number of failures from different cities :

A → $\left(1.25\times100000\times\frac{3}{10}\right) = 37500$

B → $\left(3.14\times100000\times\frac{3}{8}\right)$

= $\left(\frac{314000\times3}{8}\right) = 117750$

C → $\left(1.08\times100000\times\frac{5}{9}\right)$

= $\left(\frac{108000\times5}{9}\right) = 60000$

D → $\left(2.27\times100000\times\frac{3}{4}\right)$

= $\left(\frac{227000\times3}{4}\right) = 170250$

E → $\left(1.85\times100000\times\frac{2}{5}\right)$

= $\left(\frac{185000\times2}{5}\right) = 74000$

F → $\left(2.73\times100000\times\frac{5}{12}\right) $

= $\left(\frac{273000\times5}{12}\right) = 113750$

So, the maximum number of failures are from City D.
