Solution :
The correct answer is 1152.
Let us break down the solution step-by-step using the data provided in the description and the pie charts:
Step 1: Extract basic details from the pie charts and note
From the first pie chart ("Total tickets sold"), we observe that the total number of tickets sold by all five cinema halls is 200, and their percentage distributions are:
Step 2: Calculate the total profit earned
Since the total number of tickets sold is 200 and the average profit per ticket is Rs 30, we can calculate the total profit as:
Step 3: Find the number of tickets sold by A and D
Using the percentage values from the first pie chart:
Step 4: Determine the profit earned per ticket by cinema hall D
Using the percentage values from the second pie chart, the profit earned by cinema hall D is:
Now, we can find the profit earned on each ticket sold by D:
Step 5: Calculate the parameters for cinema hall X
We are given that:
1. The total number of tickets sold by X is 3/5th of those sold by A:
2. The profit earned on each ticket sold by X is 20% more than that of D:
Step 6: Compute the total profit earned by X
Using the tickets sold by X and the profit earned per ticket of X:
