Instructions

Answer these questions based on the figure which represents the flow of natural gas through pipelines across major cities A, B, C, D and E (in suitable units). Assume that supply equals demand.

Question 130

If the total demand in E is 80% of the demand in A, what is the demand in A ?

Solution

We can see that the supply in E = 550 + 800 + 650 = 2000.

As we are given that the supply is equal to demand, we can say that the demand in E is 2000. 

We are also given that 80% of the demand in A is equal to the demand in E. 

$$\dfrac{80}{100}\left(demand\ in\ A\right)\ =\ 2000$$

$$demand\ in\ A\ =\ 2500$$

Hence, the correct answer is option B.
