City-wise Details of Population
Note: a < Age ≤ b means age belonging to group [a, b]
If the population of City-E in the age group of (0,13] years is 16200, then the population in the age group of (0,13] years of City-E is ___% of the population in the age group of (13,19] years of City-E.
- A.
60
- B.
75
- C.
90
- D.
120
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
From the table, for City E:
- Population in age group (0, 13] is 18%.
- Population in age group (13, 19] is 15%.
Since both percentages refer to the same total population for City E, we can compare them directly:
(18 / 15) × 100 = 120%
Thus, the population in age group (0, 13] is 120% of the population in age group (13, 19].
