consider total 1000000 people
now here we have 3 more sub category here that makes it more complicated:
a-people who were stopped
b- people who were under influence
c- people who were under influence were sent to prison.
now say num of people stopped = P
now it says 95% were not under influence. that means 5% were under influencfe.
so num of people under influence- (5/100)P
now, it says 60% of those who were under the influence were not sent to prison.
that means 40% under influence were sent to prison.
also first line says, 0.0024% all people under influence were sent to prison.
means, (24/100000) * 1000000 = 240
so this 240 people represent 40% of people under influence and were sent to prison.
240 = (2/5) * (5/p/100)
p= 12000
we need to find what percentage of all people were stopped.
we assumed that P were stopped.
we found P.
P/1000000 = 12000 / 1000000
1.2%
Ans C
