Distribution of Overseas Tourist Traffic from India.
3.
If amongst other countries, Switzerland accounted for 25% of the Indian tourist traffic, and it is known from official Swiss records that a total of 25 lakh Indian tourists had gone to Switzerland during the year, then find the number of 30-39 year old Indian tourists who went abroad in that year ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Tourist traffic from other countries to Swiz is 20%.
Amongst this 20%, 25% of traffic from India.
So, 25% of 20% = 5% corresponds to the Indian traffic in Switzerland.
5 % corresponds to Switzerland's 25 lakh. Hence 15% will be 75 lakh.
Amongst this 20%, 25% of traffic from India.

See, let us consider the total no of tourist to be 'x'.
From the above conditions;
20% move out to other countries ----------> (i).
{ i.e. mathematically (20* x /100) }.
Switzerland comes under (other countries) ***from that 20% ------- (a).
Indian tourist's visited Switzerland is 25% ------ >(ii).
{i.e mathematically (20* x /100) * 25/100 }.
So, the Indian people visited in Fig are 25,00,000/-.
We can simply put the situation as {i.e mathematically (20* x /100) * 25/100 = 25,00,000 ------> (iii).
From the above iii equations, we can get (total no of tourists) ' x' =5 crores (5,00,00,000).
So, here the game changes, the question is asking about the total tourists from the age 30-39 (i.e 15 %) is traveling abroad,
So from the total tourist, 15% is between the ages 30-39,
i.e 5,00,00,000 * 15/100 = 75,00,000 (75 lakh).

In the question given that total tourists in Switzerland 25% which actually given in 1st pie chart other 20% which means Switzerland coming in other.
Because not specially mention data of Switzerland which means out of 20%
Switzerland got 25%.
So, 25/100 x 1/5 = 25lakh means total 5cr,
So, 15% equal to 75 lakh.

25/100 x 1/5 = 25 lakh,
5cr, 15% is equal to 75 lakh.
5cr, 15% is equal to 75 lakh.

@All.
Here's the solution.
Let's say 'X' is the number of Indians who went ABROAD(US+UK+JAPAN+OTHERS) in a year.
Now, number of Indians who went to only "other" countries, excluding the other three is,
20/100 * X = X/5 (basic % method and as given the other countries accounts for 20% of Indian tourist traffic. We ought to do this step according to the information provided in the question).
Now, given Switzerland accounts for 25% of Indian tourist traffic visiting the " other countries" The very first sentence of the question.
So, we can say,
25/100 * X/5 = 25,00000.
(we are using the information given in the question to actually get "X" the no. of Indians who went ABROAD. i.e, US, UK, JAPAN AND OTHERS)
X = 50,000,000.
So, 5 crore Indians went abroad in a year.
Now the ultimate step is to filter out from this total population of Indian tourists of all age groups, only the ones between 30-39 years old. And how much are they accounting? 15% , so,
15/100 of 50,000,000 = 75,00000.(answer)

In the question, they mentioned that "If amongst <other countries>, Switzerland accounted for 25% of the Indian tourist traffic".
It means that the 25%of the Indian tourist traffic to Switzerland is in 20% of the Indian tourist traffic to the other countries.
So the actual Indian tourist traffic to Switzerland is 25%of 20% i.e., 0.25*20 = 5%.
That 5% is equal to 25lakh people.
By that we can know that the total people went abroad that year are 5 crores.
In that 5crore 30-39 years, age Indian tourists are 15% that means 0.15*5crore = 75 lakhs.
It means that the 25%of the Indian tourist traffic to Switzerland is in 20% of the Indian tourist traffic to the other countries.

20/100 * 25/100 * x = 25,00,000,
Therefore x= 75,00,000.
Therefore x= 75,00,000.

In my way of solving;
Other country have 20% of indian tourist.
Switzerland have 25% of Indian tourist from 20% of other countries have.
Swiss record says 25 lakh Indian tourist is in Switzerland.
So,20 % of other country have 100 lakh, Indian tourist.
And 100% have 500 lakh Indian tourist.
Indian who went abroad whose age is 30 -39 are 15%.
So, 15% of 500 lakh is 75 lakh.
Other country have 20% of indian tourist.
Switzerland have 25% of Indian tourist from 20% of other countries have.
Swiss record says 25 lakh Indian tourist is in Switzerland.
So,20 % of other country have 100 lakh, Indian tourist.
And 100% have 500 lakh Indian tourist.
Indian who went abroad whose age is 30 -39 are 15%.
So, 15% of 500 lakh is 75 lakh.

See 25%(or 1/4) of 20% will be =5%
Now see,Given in ques that 25%(of 20%)is 5%=25lakh according to swiss record then how much will be the 15%(30-39yrs shown in 2nd graph), it so simple if 5% is 25lakh then 15% will be 75 lakh(means 3 times).
Got it?
