Correct Answer: 7


Solution : We have,
Defective parts in 120 machine parts = 5% of 120 = 6
Defective parts in 80 machine parts = 10% of 80 = 8
Total number of defectives parts = 6 + 8 = 14
Total number of machine parts = 120 + 80 = 200
Total percentage of defective parts in the two motors = $\frac{14}{200}$ × 100 = 7%
Hence, the correct answer is 7.
