• A. $55\frac{1}{3}$
• B. $55\frac{2}{3}$
• C. $58\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $53\frac{1}{3}$
• E. $53\frac{2}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $53\frac{1}{3}$

The total number of females watching Breaking Bad $=\frac{40000\times 20}{100}=8000$
Total female population in city P $=40000\times \frac{3}{8}=15000$
$\therefore$ Required percentage $=\frac{8000}{15000}\times 100=\frac{160}{3}=53\frac{1}{3}\%$
