Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
To calculate the percentage of distribution for Newspaper C compared to the total number of newspapers distributed, we must sum the distributed values for each newspaper.
Calculate Total Distribution for each Newspaper:
Newspaper A: 1000 (Delhi) + 500 (Lucknow) + 200 (Varanasi) + 200 (Jaipur) = 1900
Newspaper B: 750 (Delhi) + 250 (Lucknow) + 150 (Varanasi) + 350 (Jaipur) = 1500
Newspaper C: 320 (Delhi) + 250 (Lucknow) + 165 (Varanasi) + 135 (Jaipur) = 870
Newspaper D: 250 (Delhi) + 175 (Lucknow) + 155 (Varanasi) + 160 (Jaipur) = 740
Calculate Grand Total of Distributed Newspapers:
Grand Total = 1900 + 1500 + 870 + 740 = 5010
Calculate Percentage for Newspaper C:
Percentage = (Total Distribution C / Grand Total) * 100
Percentage = (870 / 5010) * 100 ≈ 17.365%
