Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
Cumulative data gives the total up to a stated day. A single day’s value is found by subtracting the previous cumulative value from the current cumulative value.
To express quantity A as a percentage of quantity B, use (A / B) × 100.
Application
The combined Kullu–Manali count on Monday is 15% of 4000 = 600. Since Kullu has 360 visitors on Monday, Manali has 600 − 360 = 240.
The combined count on Wednesday alone is (70% − 40%) of 4000 = 30% of 4000 = 1200.
The Kullu count on Wednesday alone is 1540 − 1060 = 480.
The Manali count on Wednesday is 1200 − 480 = 720. Therefore, the Manali total for Monday and Wednesday is 240 + 720 = 960.
The required percentage is (960 / 480) × 100 = 200%.
Cross-check
A result of 200% means the compared quantity is twice the reference quantity. Here, 960 = 2 × 480, so the calculation is consistent.
Result: 200%.
