Option E

279

Solution :

The correct answer is 279.


From the given bar graph and question data, we have the following total values:

- Total number of challans generated in June = 800

- Total number of challans generated in July = 1200


Looking at the bar graph for City B:

- Percentage of challans generated in City B in June (represented by the blue bar) = 25%

- Percentage of challans generated in City B in July (represented by the orange bar) = 35%


Step 1: Calculate the total number of challans generated in City B in June.

Challans in B (June) = 25 %  of  800 = 25 100 × 800 = 200


Step 2: Calculate the total number of challans generated in City B in July.

Challans in B (July) = 35 %  of  1200 = 35 100 × 1200 = 420


Step 3: Find the total number of challans generated in City B in both months together.

Total Challans in B = 200 + 420 = 620


Step 4: Find the number of challans paid online in City B.

It is given that 55% of the total challans in City B were paid offline. Therefore, the percentage of challans paid online is:

100 % - 55 % = 45 %


Now, calculate 45% of 620:

Number of online challans = 45 100 × 620 = 0.45 × 620 = 279


Thus, the total number of challans paid online in city B in both months together is 279.
