Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Key calculation: use the Cricket percentage to find the total amount and then compute the two group totals.
Step 1: Find the total amount. Cricket is 22.5% and equals ₹18,000, so total = 18,000 ÷ 0.225 = ₹80,000.
Step 2: Compute Basketball + Hockey. Basketball 15% + Hockey 20% = 35% → 0.35 × 80,000 = ₹28,000.
Step 3: Compute Football + Golf. Football 18% + Golf 12% = 30% → 0.30 × 80,000 = ₹24,000.
Step 4: Find x as the difference: x = 28,000 − 24,000 = ₹4,000.
Conclusion: the computed value of x is ₹4,000, which lies between ₹3,800 and ₹4,200. Therefore the correct numeric range is 3,800 and 4,200.
