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.
So, 25% of 20% = 5% corresponds to the Indian traffic in Switzerland.

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.

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.

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)
