I think answer should be cannot be determined because they have asked number of Indian tourist but in pie chart they have just given the percentage and not the actual figure. Can somebody please explain?

40% of x = Number of Indian tourists that went to USA.
15% of x = The number of Indian tourists who were below 30 years of age.
x = Total no.of Indians.
40% of x/15% of x = 8:3.
Therefore B.
15% of x = The number of Indian tourists who were below 30 years of age.
x = Total no.of Indians.
40% of x/15% of x = 8:3.
Therefore B.

If the total number is x.
Then a number of those who went to The USA is 40% of x.
This divided by the no of those who are below 30 years of age i.e. 15% of x.
40/15 = 8/5.
Then a number of those who went to The USA is 40% of x.
This divided by the no of those who are below 30 years of age i.e. 15% of x.
40/15 = 8/5.

If we think 40 people out of 100 went to USA, and 15 % of below 30 age group out people went abroad. So, Total of 30 below people went to USA is 15% of 40.

Find the GCF of 40 and 15:
The GCF of 40 and 15 is 5.
Divide both parts of the ratio by the GCF (5):
40÷5 = 8
15÷5 = 3
So, the simplified ratio is 8:3.

No, it's is below 30.
it's,
50 -30 =20.
Then it's 40:20.
That's 2:1.
Then how are they getting 15? Please tell me.

Both the pie charts are different. The colours in them don't show a relation between the country and age profile.

Question does not mean that all people below 30 years went to USA, so the answer is cannot be determined.
