What is the total number of children in areas P and Q together?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 8000.

Number of children in area P = 20% of 10000 = 2000

Number of children in area Q = 30% of 20000 =  6000

Hence,

Total number of children in P and Q = 2000 + 6000 = 8000
