Question

There is an increase of $30\%$ in the number of passengers going to Bengaluru in the first quarter from the second quarter and a $40\%$ increase in the number of passengers going to Kolkata in the first quarter from the second quarter. The number of passengers going to Bengaluru and Kolkata in the first quarter by airline B is what percent of the number of passengers going to the same cities in the second quarter?

• A. $68\%$
• B. $60\%$
• C. $65\%$
• D. $70\%$
• E. $74\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is E $74\%$

Passenger of airline B who travelled to Bengaluru.
First quarter = 10000
Second quarter $=\frac{10000\times 130}{100}=13000$
Passengers of airline B who travelled to Kolkata
First quarter = 10000
Second quarter = 14000
$\therefore$ Required percentage $=\frac{20000}{27000}\times 100=74\%$
