Data Insights (DI) Butler 2023-24 [Question #218, Date: Jan-26-2024] [Click here for Details]
In Semanta, there are 52 major businesses: 10 in the manufacturing sector, 24 in the service industry, and 18 start-ups. All the manufacturing businesses have been in operation since before 1970. All the start-ups and a third of the service-oriented businesses were founded after the year 2000.
Of businesses not in the downtown sector, approximate % are start-ups.
Assume that any business founded after 2000 had a website from its start, and that any business founded with a website before that added a website after it had already been in operation. These latter companies constitute % of companies with a website.

SOl:
1st :
Of businesses not in the downtown sector, approximate___________ % are start-ups.
Total businesses in downtown sector = 22 (10 startup, 7 manf. , 5 service)
% startup = 10/22*100 = 5*100/11 = 45.45 %
2nd:
Assume that any business founded after 2000 had a website from its start ==> All startups + 1/3 of Service = 18 + (1/3)*24 =
and that any business founded with a website before that added a website after it had already been in operation;
a) Composition of industries with websites = 1 (Manf.) + 13 (Service) + 18 startups = 32
b) All startups (18 nos.) and 8 no.s of Service Industries were founded after 2000 i.e. total 26, industries incorporating websites post-2000 are = 32-26 = 6
Therefore, the percentage of the latter = 6/32*100 = 3/16*100 = 18.75 %
