Show Answer

Answer: (4)

Solution: (4)

Total jobs in country $X$ in 2015 $=5670=35 \%$

$\therefore$ Total jobs in 2015 $=5670 \times \frac{100}{35}=16200$

$\therefore$ Total jobs in country $Z$ in $2016=\frac{16200}{3}=5400$

Required percentage $=\left(\frac{5670-5400}{5400}\right) \times 100$ $=\frac{270}{54}=5 \%$
