On a given day, a bank had 16000 cheques returned by customers. Inspection of the first 800 cheques indicated that 100 of those 800 had errors and were therefore the available immediately for data processing. On this basis, hwo many cheques would be available immediately for data processing on that day?

• It is given for every 800 cheques 100 are error
  
  so (800-100)=700 error free
  
  total 16000 cheques
  
  so dividing them into 800 in each we get (16000/800)=20
  
  so 20 sets of cheques (each 800) where each set has 700 error free
  
  so 20*700=14000 is the answer

• total number of cheques =16000
  if 100 cheques had error out of 800
  then on 16000 it should be=16000*100/800=2000

• Indirectly one set is of 800 and another is off 800 therefore 800+800=1600 ✔
  in first 800, 100 was with error. 700 is error free. ✔
  similarly from another set of 800, 700 is error free. therefore 700+700 is 1400 ans ✔✔

• for 800 cheques 100 are error
  so for 16000 cheques 2000 are error-
  800 100
  16000 x
  so,800x =1600000
  x=2000
  
  so 16000-2000=14000
