    D 27.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Calculation: Age of person between 10 to 40 years = 14 + 20 + 24 ⇒ Age b/w 10 - 40 = 58 Age of person between 50 to 80 years = 32 + 26 + 22 ⇒ Age b/w 50 - 80 = 80 Required Percentage = (Age b/w 50 - 80 – Age b/w 10 - 40)/Age b/w 50 - 80 × 100 ⇒ Required percentage = (80 – 58)/80 × 100 ⇒ Required percentage = 22/80 × 100 ⇒ Required percentage = 27.5% ∴ The required percentage is 27.5%.
