Answer 1

The correct option is C

$8$

Explanation for the correct option:

Compute the percentage of scouts in the camp from Ahmedabad

In the question, it is given that in a scout camp $40\%$ of the scouts were from Gujarat State out of which $20\%$ were from Ahmedabad.

Assume that, $100$ the total number of scouts.

Now, the number of scouts from Gujarat State will be given by:

$100·\frac{40}{100}=40$

Now, the number of scouts from the Ahmedabad will be given by:

$40·\frac{20}{100}=8$

So, $8\%$ of the scouts were from Ahmedabad.

Therefore, option $C$ is the correct option.
