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
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.
