Should we interpret with colors given in the charts or not.. In that case 40% USA shows only age above 50 yrs of 50%... I don't understand.. Please explain..

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

40%/15% = 8/3 (which is divided by 5).

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.

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?
