Answer:

The correct answer is D. 3591

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Ticket less person in January = 4000

In February, the number increase by 5%

\text{So, 5 percent of 4000 = }\frac{5}{100}\times 4000 = 200

⇒ Ticket less person in February = 4000 + 200 = 4200

  • In March, the number decreases by 5%

\text{So, 5 percent of 4200 = }\frac{5}{100}\times 4200 = 210

⇒ Ticket less person in March = 4200 − 210 = 3990

  • In April, the number decreases by 10%

\text{So, 10 percent of 3990 = }\frac{10}{100}\times 3990 = 399

Hence, Ticket less persons in April = 3990 − 399 = 3591
