In that National Games, if we consider participants from all states of India, including the five for which data has been provided, the total number of participants in the track events was 475% more than those who represented the five given states in track events, the total number of participants in the field events was 525% of those who represented the five given states in field events, and the total number of participants in swimming events was 4 times those who represented the five given states in swimming events. What was the combined number of participants in these three types of events at this National Games, if participants from all states of India were counted?
  1. 30381
  2. 28017
  3. 30141
  4. 32505

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - 32505
Track: 475% more than 2124 = 5.75 x 2124 = 12213. Field: 5.25 x 2064 = 10836. Swimming: 4 x 2364 = 9456. Sum = 32505. (30381 results from wrongly taking track as 4.75 x 2124.)
