Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
From the table, total printed newspapers = 2000 + 2000 + 1000 + 1000 = 6000. Total distributed newspapers = (1000+500+200+200) + (750+250+150+350) + (320+250+165+135) + (250+175+155+160) = 1900 + 1500 + 870 + 740 = 5010. Required percentage = (5010/6000) x 100 = 83.5%. Hence, the correct answer is 83.5%.
