D

Total A sized Toys = 100 - 50 = 50
Number of A sized Toys which are Red = 25 - 10 = 15
Thus Rest of A sized Toys which are then Blue = 50 - 15 = 35

easy way is to create a small table

Size A Size B
Red 10
Blue

Above is the information we have. Now using the percentages we ned to fill the blanks. Red is 25% in total number and so in size B it has to be 15. Now we know that Size B is 50% and so if red size B is 15% then blue size B must be 35%. Similarly for Blue size A shld be 40%. Below is the completed table:

Size A Size B
Red 10 40
Blue 40 35

jesson has given a clear picture for solution thanx
For those who find difficult here is simplified version

GIVEN DATA
SIZEA SIZEB TOTAL

RED 10 25

BLUE 75

TOTAL 50 50 100

NOW JUST FILL UP the blue and size b cols to get total

SIZEA SIZEB TOTAL

RED 10 (25-10)=15 25

BLUE (50-10)=40 (75-40)or(50-15)=35 75

TOTAL 50 50

the tabular col is not displayin with spaces correctly sorry guys.
so explained here
in the given data table above
red and sizeA is 10

in the total coloum
red is 25 and blue is 75

now in the RED row total is 25 and sizeA is 10 so RED&SizeB is (25-10)=15
NOW (TOTAL OF SIzEA IS 50), SIZEA&RED is 10
so in blue row SIZEA AND BLUE COLOR IS 50-10=40
similarly TOTAL SIZEB IS 50,Now REDsizeB is 15
So BLUE &SIZEB is (TOTAL SIZEB - RED&SIZEB)=(50-15)=35

@ Krishna hope this works for u…
Given:
of 100 … 25 need to be REd & 75 to be blue

50 of size A & 50 of size B..
so
10 of size A r Red so red of size B =25-10 =15 red of size B
& since total of size A is 50 from which 10 are RED so 40 blue of size A … completes 50 for size A

now for size B: either u can get by 75-40=35
or total 50 of size B - 15 red of size B = 35 of size B in blue .. completing 50 for sizeB also

hope clear

you just need to make this grid
R B
A 10 ? | 50
B ? ? | 50
————
25 75
Now its simple since 10 + ? = 50 i.e. 40 are Blue and size A
Now using this 40 + ? = 75 i.e. reqd ans: 35

How is this a very hard question?

If you know that 25% are red, that means in a lot of 100, 25 are red.
If 10 of those are size A, that leaves 15 for size B.

Since there can only be 50 size Bs, 50 - 15 = 35

This was more like a junior high level math problem.

Red Blue
(25%) (75%)

A(50%) 10 in 100 =>40

B(50%) =>15 =>35

Red Blue Total
size A 10 40 50%
size B 15 35 50%
Total 25 % 75 % 100%

total no of toys =100
