Direction: A survery of film watching habits of people living in five cities P, Q, R, S and T is summarized below in a table. The coulmn I in the table gives percentage of film-watchers in each city who see only one film a week. The column II gives the total number of film-watchers who see two or more films per week.

  1. Which city has the highest number of film watchers who see only one film in a week?
    1. P
    2. R
    3. S
    4. T
Correct Option: D

According to given table, we have
Let total number of film watchers be 100% .
In city P , If 60% of them watched only on movie in a week , then 40% watched two or more movie in a week .
⇒ 40% ≈ 24000

∴ 1% ≈
24000
40

Now , 60% ≈
60 × 24000
= 36000
40

Similarly for city Q,
⇒ 20% ≈
20 × 30000
= 7500
80

For city R,
⇒ 85% ≈
85 × 24000
= 136000
15

For city S,
⇒ 55% ≈
55 × 27000
= 33000
45

For city T,
⇒ 75% ≈
75 × 80000
= 240000
25

Hence , the highest number is for city T .
