B) 55%
C) 65%
D) 60%
E) 52%
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Total number of books sold in year 2013 = 1240 |
Number of fiction books sold \[=1240\times \frac{3}{4}=930\] |

\[=930\times \frac{4}{15}=62\times 4=248\] |
Number of books written by foreign authors |
\[=930-248=682\] |
\[\therefore \] Required percentage \[=\,\frac{682}{1240}\,\times \,100\]%\[=\,55\]% |
