The table shows the percentage distribution of population across five age groups for cities A to E.

City	0-13	13-19	19-35	35-60	Above 60
A	18	12	24	30	16
B	16	18	22	29	15
C	20	20	20	25	15
D	15	18	21	26	20
E	18	15	25	24	18

If the total populations of city B and city E are 96,000 and 1,30,000 respectively, then the population of the age group 0 to 13 years in city E is approximately what percentage more than the population of the same age group in city B?

A47.24

B49.67

C52.34 ✓ Correct

D57.5

Correct answer: (C) 52.34

Explanation

The city-E figure is about 52.34 percent more, so that is the answer.

In city B the 0 to 13 group is 16 percent of 96,000, which is 15,360.

In city E the 0 to 13 group is 18 percent of 1,30,000, which is 23,400.

The difference is 23,400 minus 15,360, which is 8,040.

This is measured against the city-B figure of 15,360.

8,040 out of 15,360 is about 52.34 percent.
