If the number of vacancies in Pune is 48000 in the year 2020 and the percentage distribution is the same as given in the table, then what is the number of vacancies available in Delhi in 2020?
A1.20 lakh
B1.32 lakh
C1.48 lakh
D1.60 lakh ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1.60 lakh
Explanation
The number is 1.60 lakh, so the answer is 1.60 lakh.
Pune has 6 percent of the 2020 total, and this equals 48000.
So one percent of the 2020 total is 48000 divided by 6, which is 8000.
Delhi has 20 percent of the 2020 total.
So Delhi has 20 times 8000.
That is 160000, or 1.60 lakh.
So the number is 1.60 lakh.
