Direction: A survey of movie going habits of city dwellers from 5 cities A, B, C, D and E is given below. The first column gives the percentage of viewers in each city who watch less than two movies a week. The second column gives the total number of viewers who view two or more movies per week. Study the table and answer the questions.

  1. The city with the lowest number of movie watchers is
    1. City E
    2. City D
    3. City B
    4. City C
Correct Option: C

On the basis of given table in question ,
Let total number of film watchers be 100% .
In city A , If 60% of them watched less than two movies a week , then 40% watched two or more movie per week .
∴ 40% ≈ 2400

⇒ 1% =
2400
40

Now , 100% =
100 × 2400
= 6000
40

Similarly for city B,
⇒ 100% =
100 × 3000
= 3750
80

For city C,
⇒ 100% =
100 × 2400
= 16000
15

For city D,
⇒ 100% =
100 × 2700
= 6000
45

For city E,
⇒ 100% =
100 × 8000
= 32000
25

Hence , the lowest number is for city B .
