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.

As in the question.
Amoungst other Countries (20%) swiss acounts 25% Tourist= 25% of 20%=5% which is 25 Lakhs.
And % of 30-39 years old Indians who went abroad is 15%=X
5:15=25:X.
X=15x25/5.
=75 Lakhs.

As per the question:.
Let Total Indian who went abroad be a variable = INDIANS.
Given,
20% (Others), means 20% of the total Indian who Went aboard. , i.e. 20/100 * INDIANS.
Amongst other countries, Switzerland accounted for 25% of the Indian tourist traffic means= 25% of 20% of INDIANS= (25/100) * (20/100) * INDIANS = 5% * INDIANS = 25 Lakhs.
To Find Number of (30-39) year old Indian who went abroad out of Total Indians. ie (15 % INDIANS).
Solution: 5% of INDIANS = 25 Lakhs.
15% of INDIANS = (25/5%) * 15% = (25 * 15) /5 = 75 Lakhs.

15% of INDIANS = (25/5%) * 15% = (25 * 15) /5 = 75 Lakhs.
