Study the given pie-charts and answer the question that follows.
The pie-charts show the characteristics of foreign tourists visiting India during a given year.
If in a given year, 2,50,000 tourists visited India and the age wise distribution of data applies to all the countries, then what is the ratio of American tourists below 10 years to the other tourists above 50 years?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 3 : 1.
According to the given pie-charts,
American tourists = 250000 × 40/100 = 100000
American tourista below the age of 10 = 15% of 100000 = 15000
Now, other tourists visiting India = 20% of 250000 = 50000
Number of other tourists above 50 years of age = 10% of 50000 = 5000
Now, required ratio = 15000 : 5000 = 3 : 1
