Option 4 : 150%

Given:

Calculation:

Let the number of men, women and children who went on Sunday be 8x, 7x, 5x respectively.

Let the number of men, women and children who went on Monday be 2y, 2y, y respectively.

∴ According to question

8x – 2y = 1200

⇒ 4x – y = 600     ----(i)

5x – y = 850      ---- (ii)

∴ Solving (i) and (ii)

x = 250, y = 400

Number of men, women and children who went on Sunday = 8x + 7x + 5x = 20x = 20 × 250 = 5000

Number of men, women and children who went on Monday = 2y + 2y + y = 5y = 5 × 400 = 2000

∴ Required percentage = {(5000 – 2000)/2000} × 100 = 150%
