The table shows the percentage distribution of the population across five age groups for five cities A to E. The age groups are 0 to 13, 13 to 19, 19 to 35, 35 to 60 and above 60 years. The percentages are: City A 18, 12, 24, 30 and 16; City B 16, 18, 22, 29 and 15; City C 20, 20, 20, 25 and 15; City D 15, 18, 21, 26 and 20; City E 18, 15, 25, 24 and 18. Based on the data, answer the questions that follow.
If the number of people in the age group 19 to 35 years in city A is 31,680, then how many people are above 60 years of age in city A?
A21,120 ✓ Correct
B24,280
C23,680
D19,350
Correct answer: (A) 21,120 — The number above 60 years is 21,120, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★The number above 60 years is 21,120, so that is the answer.
★In city A the 19 to 35 group is 24 percent and equals 31,680.
★So the total population of city A is 31,680 divided by 0.24, which is 1,32,000.
★The above-60 group is 16 percent of the total.
★16 percent of 1,32,000 is 21,120.
★So the number above 60 years is 21,120.
