Correct Answer - Option 2 : 229.6%
Given:
The population of village A = 22% of the total population of city X
The population of village B = 24% of the total population of city X
The population of village C = (1/8)th of the total population of city X
The population of village D = 56% of the total population of village C
The population of village E = 80% of the population of village B
The population of village F = 45900
The population of village F = 15.3% of the total population of city X.
Formula Used:
Increase percentage = (Increase in value)/(Original value)} × 100
Calculation:
The total population of city X = 45900/(15.3%)
⇒ 45900 × (100/15.3)
⇒ 300000
According to the question,
The population of village A = 22% of 300000
⇒ 22 × 3000
⇒ 66000
The population of village B = 24% of 300000
⇒ 24 × 3000
⇒ 72000
The population of village C = (1/8) × 300000
⇒ 37500
The population of village E = 80% of 72000
⇒ 80 × 720
⇒ 57600
The total population of village A and E together = 66000 + 57600
⇒ 123600
Increase in value = 123600 - 37500
⇒ 86100
Increase percentage = (Increase in value)/(Original value)} × 100
⇒ (86100/37500) × 100
⇒ 229.6%
∴ The total population of village A and E together are 229.6% of more than the total population of village C
