If 20% of the ‘Others’ category ice-cream is mango flavour and 10300 surveyed people preferred mango flavour, then how many people were surveyed?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2,50,000. 

Let the total surveyed people = x

Mango = 20% of 20.6% of x

Mango = 20100×20.6100×x{20\over100}\times{20.6\over100}\times x = 412x10000412x\over10000

According to the question,

⇒ 412x10000412x\over10000 = 10300

⇒ x = 2,50,000
