Hi Sajjad1994 and KarishmaB, I think we're missing one key point here in Question 1. Could you please help point out if there's a flaw in my understanding?
We are saying that 70% users aged 62+ do not use any form of social media, then we fragment the remaining 30% to find our answer.
However, I see that the split-up of these remaining people who use social media is actually not adding upto 30%. Reading figures from the graph here's what I get:
Create primary content: 5% Comment on primary content: 11% Aggregate and report primary content: 11% Use social networking sites: 6% View primary content: 20%
We can see 5+11+11+6+20=53% and not 30%
And consequently 6/53 ~~ 11% should be our required answer, or in this case the nearest option, option B (8%)

There will be overlap. For example, many creators will view content too etc. One person could be counted in multiple of these sets and that is why the overall percentage is higher than 30.
Of the Internet users 62 years old or older, approximately 70 percent use no social media. Therefore, approximately 30 percent use some form of social media. Of the users in this age group, approximately 5 to 6 percent use social networking sites. This latter group is a subset of the 30 percent who use some form of social media. Therefore, the percentage of the 30 percent that is also a member of the 5 to 6 percent is 5/30≈16.7% to 6/30=20%. The only available option in this range of values is 20%.
The correct answer is 20.
The graph deals only with Internet users over the age of 11, and the only activity shown in the graph that has less than 20 percent participation in all of the age groups is aggregate and repost content. Each of the other activities has greater than 20 percent participation in several age groups and, because the relative number of people in different age groups is unknown, there is insufficient information to determine the rate of participation for these activities.
The correct answer is aggregate and repost content.

Hi KarishmaB! In the first statement, why do we need to divide 6% to 30% (6/30≈20%) to get to the right answer? My understanding is that the blue line (use social networking sites) for the age group of +62 years was the correct answer, representing around 6%... thank you!

The question says: In 2007, of the Internet users 62 years old or older who used one or more forms of social media, approximately_____________percent used social networking sites.
In this age group, we want to find the number of people who use social networking sites as a percentage of total number of people who use one or more forms of social media.
From the graph, we can see that 70% do not use social media. So 30% do use it. From the graph we can also see that 6% people use social networking sites. So if there were 100 people in this age group, 70 would not use social median and 30 would use. Out of those 30, 6 use social networking sites. So percentage of people using social networking sites of the total number of people using social media would be 6/30 * 100 = 20%

Thank you KarishmaB, this opens up a whole new way for me to understand these problems
Note: Many responses in this thread have endorsed the correct answer incorrectly. Please be cautious of misleading approaches.
Question 1 is a tough one where most explanations in thread are wrong. What many have counted as 44% is not actally 44% as there are some overlap among those categories. The union sum of those is 30% which can be calculated this way
People in age group 62+ who use no social media (Filled triangle line) is at 70% i.e 70% of people in that age group use on social media
i.e. 100-70 = 30% use one or more forms of social media. (Point-1)
Now, people who used docial networking sites = 6% or 7% (You need to read it in approximation as there are no exactness in graph) (Point-2)
Now, of these 30 people, 6 used social networking sites therefore their percentage =\( \frac{6}{30}\) = 20% (Point-3)
Question 2 here was a simple one. We need to see the graph which for all age groups stays below 20% horizontal line int he graph here. The line graph of filled rectangle (Aggregate and repost primary content) line stays below 20% for all age groups hence the correct answer
