The total distribution of mobile phones in Madhya Pradesh is approximately what percent less than that in Assam and Punjab together?
A15.58 ✓ Correct
B12.98
C18.42
D17.23
Correct answer: (A) 15.58
Explanation
The answer is about 15.58 percent.
Madhya Pradesh has 6.5 lakh mobile phones.
Assam has 4.2 lakh and Punjab has 3.5 lakh, together 7.7 lakh.
The difference is 7.7 minus 6.5, which is 1.2 lakh.
The percentage is 1.2 divided by 7.7, times 100.
That equals about 15.58 percent.
So the answer is 15.58.
