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%Option 4 : 150%
