Let's analyze the provided table which shows the number of newspapers printed and distributed in different cities. We need to find the percentage of the total distribution of newspaper C compared to the total distribution of all newspapers across all the listed cities.

Calculating Total Newspaper Distribution

First, let's find the total number of newspaper C copies distributed across all four cities: Delhi, Lucknow, Varanasi, and Jaipur.

• Distribution of Newspaper C in Delhi = 320
• Distribution of Newspaper C in Lucknow = 250
• Distribution of Newspaper C in Varanasi = 165
• Distribution of Newspaper C in Jaipur = 135

Total distribution of Newspaper C = \(320 + 250 + 165 + 135 = 870\)

Next, let's find the total number of all newspapers distributed across all four cities. We sum the distribution of Newspaper A, B, C, and D in each city and then sum the city totals.

• Total distribution in Delhi = \(1000 + 750 + 320 + 250 = 2320\)
• Total distribution in Lucknow = \(500 + 250 + 250 + 175 = 1175\)
• Total distribution in Varanasi = \(200 + 150 + 165 + 155 = 670\)
• Total distribution in Jaipur = \(200 + 350 + 135 + 160 = 845\)

Total distribution of all newspapers across all cities = \(2320 + 1175 + 670 + 845 = 5010\)

Calculating Percentage of Newspaper C Distribution

Now, we can calculate the percentage of newspaper C's distribution compared to the total distribution of all newspapers. The formula for percentage is:

\(\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100\)

In this case, the "Part" is the total distribution of Newspaper C, and the "Whole" is the total distribution of all newspapers.

\(\text{Percentage of Newspaper C distribution} = \left( \frac{\text{Total Newspaper C Distribution}}{\text{Total Distribution of all Newspapers}} \right) \times 100\)

\(\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{870}{5010} \right) \times 100\)

Let's perform the calculation:

\(\frac{870}{5010} \approx 0.17365269\)

\(0.17365269 \times 100 \approx 17.365269\%\)

Rounding this to two decimal places, we get approximately 17.37%. However, looking at the options provided, 17.36% is available, which suggests the value might be rounded down or truncated to two decimal places. The percentage of distribution of newspaper C is approximately 17.36% of the total newspaper distribution.

Additional Information on Data Interpretation

Data interpretation questions like this require careful reading of the table and the question. It is crucial to distinguish between the number of newspapers printed (given in brackets in the header) and the number distributed (the values in the table body). This specific question focuses solely on the distributed numbers.

Key aspects of solving such problems include:

• Identifying exactly what quantities need to be summed or compared.
• Performing accurate addition and division.
• Understanding how to calculate percentages correctly.
• Paying attention to the required level of precision for the final answer (e.g., number of decimal places).

Practicing with different types of tables and graphs helps improve data interpretation skills for exams.
