A26000 ✓ Correct
B14000
C21000
D24000
Correct answer: (A) 26000
Explanation
The difference is 26000.
Haryana has 5.2 lakh phones and Middle income takes 25 percent, so High and Low together take 75 percent.
In the ratio 2 to 3, High income takes two fifths of 75 percent, which is 30 percent.
So High income is 5.2 times 0.30, which is 1.56 lakh.
Middle income is 5.2 times 0.25, which is 1.30 lakh.
The difference is 1.56 minus 1.30, which is 0.26 lakh.
That equals 26000.
