Options:
(A) 10.50
(B) 14.70
(C) 15.00
(D) 50.00
Official Answer Key:
A
Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation
Mobile owners = 0.70 × 1400 = 980 million. Internet users among them = 294 million. E-commerce buyers = half of Internet users = 147 million. Percentage of the whole country = (147/1400) × 100 = 10.50%. (B) 14.70% is the (incorrect) share of internet users among mobile owners mistaken for the final answer; (C) 15.00 and (D) 50.00 are distractor round numbers. Answer: (A) 10.50.
