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.

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

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?

5:15=25:x
5/15=25/x
x=25/5*15=75
5/15=25/x
x=25/5*15=75
