Show Answer

Correct Answer: (3)

Solution: (3)

Number of female passengers :

Tuesday $\Rightarrow 160-90=70$

Wednesday $=150-80=70$

Their sum $=70+70=140$

Total number of passengers on Friday $=200$

$\therefore$ Required per cent $=\left(\frac{200-140}{200}\right) \times 100$ $=\frac{60}{2}=30 \%$
