Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Step 1: Find the number of tickets sold by each relevant theatre.
Rangmahal Cineplex: 24% of 950 = 0.24 × 950 = 228 tickets
Jyoti Cineplex: 30% of 950 = 0.30 × 950 = 285 tickets
Step 2: Find the number of female purchasers at each theatre.
Females at Rangmahal = 7/12 of 228 = (228 ÷ 12) × 7 = 19 × 7 = 133
Females at Jyoti = 1/19 of 285 = 285 ÷ 19 = 15
Step 3: Add the female purchasers from both theatres.
Total females = 133 + 15 = 148
Answer: 148
