What is the <strong>MAXIMUM</strong> of differences between the number of people coming from different groups P, Q, R and S?

Consider the following for the next three (03) items that follow:<br>The following Pie-Chart-I shows the people migrating to Delhi from different Indian States (P, Q and R are three different States and S is the combined group of other States) and Pie-Chart-II indicates the different age groups A, B, C and D of these migrating people for each State.<br>State distribution: P = 40\%, Q = 30\%, S = 20\%, R = 10\%.<br>Age distribution: A = 50\%, B = 15\%, C = 15\%, D = 20\%.

  1. A. 1.6 lac
  2. B. 1.8 lac
  3. C. 2.4 lac
  4. D. 2.6 lac

Correct Answer: C. 2.4 lac

Explanation

The maximum difference in percentages between any two state groups is between P (40\%) and R (10\%), creating a gap of 30\%. With the total population being 8,00,000, the maximum difference is 30\% of 8,00,000, which equals 2,40,000, or 2.4 lac.
