The number of tourists who visited Dehradun by train is what percent more than the number of tourists who visited Chandigarh by air?

A25 ✓ Correct

B45

C37

D60

Correct answer: (A) 25

Explanation

The increase is 25 percent, so the answer is 25.

Dehradun has 18500 tourists arriving by train.

Chandigarh has 14800 tourists arriving by air.

The excess is 18500 minus 14800, which is 3700.

As a percentage of 14800 this is 3700 over 14800 times 100.

That simplifies to 25.

So the train visitors to Dehradun exceed the air visitors to Chandigarh by 25 percent.
