If, amongst other countries, Switzerland accounted for 25 percent of the Indian tourist traffic to other countries and a total of 25 lakh Indian tourists went to Switzerland during the year, then the number of 30 to 40 years old Indian tourists who went abroad in the year is:
A18.75 lakh
B25 lakh
C75 lakh ✓ Correct
D50 lakh
Correct answer: (C) 75 lakh — The number of 30 to 40 year old tourists is 75 lakh, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The number of 30 to 40 year old tourists is 75 lakh, so that is the answer.
★Other countries take 20 percent of the traffic and Switzerland is 25 percent of that.
★So 25 lakh equals 20 percent of 25 percent of the total, giving a total of 5 crore.
★The 30 to 40 age group is 15 percent of the total.
★15 percent of 5 crore is 75 lakh.
★So the 30 to 40 year old tourists number 75 lakh.
