Question

What is the approximate number of engines in India that are powered by electricity?

• A. 3300
• B. 2700
• C. 6000
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3300

45% of the engines in India are powered by Natural gas and Diesel. So, the balance 55% will be powered by electricity. We know that 2100 engines are powered by diesel which account for 35% of the total engines. Therefore, 55% of the total engines $=\frac{2100}{35}\times 55=3300$. Hence option (a) is the answer.
