Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
To find how much one quantity is more than another in percentage terms, use the smaller comparison quantity as the base.
Percentage more = ((larger value - base value) / base value) × 100.
Application
From the table, tourists visiting Dehradun by train = 18,500 and tourists visiting Chandigarh by air = 14,800.
Difference = 18,500 - 14,800 = 3,700.
Percentage more = (3,700 / 14,800) × 100 = 25%.
Cross-check
Increasing 14,800 by 25% gives 14,800 + 3,700 = 18,500, which matches the Dehradun-by-train value.
Therefore, the required percentage is 25%.
