The following table shows the percentage (%) distribution of the number of readers of an IT magazine in the years 2019 and 2023, among the six different cities A-F. Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow.
| City | Percentage of Readers in Year (2023) | Percentage of Readers in Year (2019) |
|---|---|---|
| A | 10% | 15% |
| B | 14% | 16% |
| C | 17% | 28% |
| D | 10% | 9% |

Q.1. If the total number of readers from all the six cities A-F together in the year 2023 was 50,000 then the number of readers was more than 7,400 in exactly cities in the same year.
Ans: (c) 4
Explanation: Given that, total number of readers from all cities in the year 2023 = 50,000. City A (15% = 7,500), City B (16% = 8,000), City C (28% = 14,000), City D (9% = 4,500), City E (9% = 4,500), City F (22% = 11,000). Number of cities having more than 7,400 readers in 2023 are 4 (A, B, C, and F).
Ans: (c) 4
Explanation: Given that, total number of readers from all cities in the year 2023 = 50,000. City A (15% = 7,500), City B (16% = 8,000), City C (28% = 14,000), City D (9% = 4,500), City E (9% = 4,500), City F (22% = 11,000). Number of cities having more than 7,400 readers in 2023 are 4 (A, B, C, and F).
Q.2. If the total number of readers from all the six cities A-F together in the years 2019 and 2023 were 4.3 lakh and 5.7 lakh, respectively, then what was the difference between the total number of readers from City-B and City-C together in the years 2019 and 2023?
Ans: (a) 1.175 lakh
Explanation: Number of readers in 2019 of City B and C = 60,200 + 73,100 = 1,33,300. Number of readers in 2023 of City B and C = 91,200 + 1,59,600 = 2,50,800. Difference = 2,50,800 – 1,33,300 = 1,17,500 (1.175 lakh).
Ans: (a) 1.175 lakh
Explanation: Number of readers in 2019 of City B and C = 60,200 + 73,100 = 1,33,300. Number of readers in 2023 of City B and C = 91,200 + 1,59,600 = 2,50,800. Difference = 2,50,800 – 1,33,300 = 1,17,500 (1.175 lakh).
Q.3. If the ratio of the number of readers from City-A in the year 2019 to that in 2023 was 2: 5, then what was the ratio of the number of readers from all the six cities together in the year 2019 to that in 2023?
Ans: (a) 3:5
Explanation: Total = 100%. For 2019, 15% = 2 ⇒ 100% = 20 ⇒ ratio 60:100 = 3:5.
Ans: (a) 3:5
Explanation: Total = 100%. For 2019, 15% = 2 ⇒ 100% = 20 ⇒ ratio 60:100 = 3:5.
Q.4. If the number of readers from the City-D in the year 2019 and 2023 were 77,400 and 1,14,000 respectively, then what is the difference between the number of readers from City-F in the year 2019 and that in 2023?
Ans: (b) 27,200
Explanation: Number of readers in City D in 2019 = 77,400 (9% of total readers in 2019). Total readers in 2019 = 77,400 × (100 / 9) = 8,60,000. Total readers in 2023 = 1,14,000 × (100 / 10) = 11,40,000. Readers in City F in 2019 = 8,60,000 × 26% = 2,23,600. Readers in City F in 2023 = 11,40,000 × 22% = 2,50,800. Difference = 2,50,800 – 2,23,600 = 27,200.
Ans: (b) 27,200
Explanation: Number of readers in City D in 2019 = 77,400 (9% of total readers in 2019). Total readers in 2019 = 77,400 × (100 / 9) = 8,60,000. Total readers in 2023 = 1,14,000 × (100 / 10) = 11,40,000. Readers in City F in 2019 = 8,60,000 × 26% = 2,23,600. Readers in City F in 2023 = 11,40,000 × 22% = 2,50,800. Difference = 2,50,800 – 2,23,600 = 27,200.
Q.5. If the number of readers from City-C in the year 2019 and that from City-E in the year 2023 were 73,100 and 51,300, respectively, then the number of readers from City-B in the year 2023 was approximately ________ % more than that in 2019.
Ans: (d) 51.5
Explanation: Total readers in 2019 = 73,100 × (100 / 17) = 4,30,000. Total readers in 2023 = 51,300 × (100 / 9) = 5,70,000. City B in 2019 = 4,30,000 × 14% = 60,200. City B in 2023 = 5,70,000 × 16% = 91,200. Difference = 91,200 – 60,200 = 31,000. Percentage increase = (31,000 / 60,200) × 100 ≈ 51.49% (approx 51.5%).

According to a World Health Organisation report, about 80 percent of the world’s population uses traditional medicine systems in some or the other way. India has a distinctive and unique traditional medicine base with each system having its own ancient philosophy, medicinal knowledge, perception and practices that align with the regional culture, traditions and beliefs. The traditional medicine system in India include Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa and Homeopathy which is known as Ayush. All these systems were formulated, practiced and perfected in a continuum much before the advent of modern health science.
In many countries around the world, medical pluralism is the norm and traditional medicine is one of the surest means to achieve total healthcare coverage for the world population using acceptable safe and economically feasible methods. No system of medicine can single handedly address all health concerns, but an integrative approach incorporating the positives of each can surely benefit mankind. The holistic patient-centred and individualised approach is the trademark of traditional systems and enables the patient-physician partnership to design or customise treatment and lifestyle advice in order to achieve the highest potential for well-being. This awareness combined with the increase in use of traditional medicine has brought the systems to the fore. The diverse activities ranging from the provision of prophylactic care to the management of disease and the effective implementation and integration of Ayush system to the public healthcare during the pandemic has garnered global attention to Ayush systems. This has enabled the signing, of the Host Country Agreement for the establishment of Global Centre for Traditional Medicine (GCTM) at Jamnagar.
