• D. $2386,2637$ and $1256$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Total $62,800$ idols were immersed in water.

Out of which,

$38\%$ were made of plaster of Paris.

$\therefore$ number of idols of plaster of Paris $=\frac{38}{100}\times 62800=23864$

$42\%$ were made of clay.

$\therefore$ number idols made of clay $=\frac{42}{100}\times 62800=26376$

$20\%$ were made of sand.

$\therefore$ number idols made of sand $=\frac{20}{100}\times 62800=12560$
