But its given corresponding sector. So we should have taken 15% of either 10% or 20% na?

You can also find out the answer in this way:

15*3.6 = 54.

NOTE-[1%=3.6].

@All

15 * 18/5 = 54% => Answer.

If 15% of 360 than 10% is 36.

Hence 5% is 18 now 15% is 54.

Vishakha said:   7 years ago
How 1% =3.6, It's not given 10% is 36.
So, how it could be?
