Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 72.5%.
Given that
In a survey, 200 respondents were asked whether they owned a vehicle or not
The respondents owned scooter = 20 + 30 = 50
The respondents owned car = 25 + 10 = 35
The respondents owned both car and scooter = 15 + 5 = 20
They don't own the vehicles = 50 + 45 = 95
So, the respondents don't own a car = 50 + 95 = 145
Hence, the percentage of respondents do NOT own a car = (145/200) × 100 = 72.5%
