The pie chart represents the popularity of ice cream flavours among families in the year 2019.

In 2019, if 20% of the 'other' category was Anjeer flavor and 4082 people preferred Anjeer flavor, then how many people were surveyed?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 130000

Let the number of people surveyed = x 

According to the question;

⇒ x × 15.7% = 'Other' category 

Number of people liking Anjeer flavour = 4082 

⇒ (x × 15.7%) × 20% = 4082 

⇒ x × 157/1000 × 20/100 = 4082 

⇒ x × 157/1000 × 1/5 = 4082 

⇒ x = (4082 × 1000 × 5)/157

⇒ x = 130000
