From the table,

% of low quality cloth used in type A = 0

% of low quality cloth used in type B = 30%

% of low quality cloth used in type C = 30%

% of low quality cloth used in type D = 40%

% of low quality cloth used in type E = 90%

Total shirts made of type A = 20000

Total shirts made of type B = 30000

Total shirts made of type C = 30000

Total shirts made of type D = 10000

Total shirts made of type E = 10000

Total shirts that would have been made from the low quality cloth = 0% of 20000 + 30% of 30000 + 30% of 30000 + 40% of 10000 + 90% of 10000

⇒ Total shirts that would have been made from the low quality cloth = 31000

Each shirt requires 1.5 m length of cloth.

∴ Total length of low quality cloth used = 1.5 × 31000 = 46500 m
