Response pattern #3 makes up more than half (3512 out of 6655) the survey responses, so whatever their response was to a given question was also the majority response.

The number of Responses (eg. 2005, 120, etc.) are separately for each answer (yes/no) in each pattern or is it total number of answers against each question in each pattern (like 2005 is total for say "x" answers of question "A" plus say "y" answeres of question "B" etc.)
I assumed it is total. Please explain how can we finalize it in the real GMAT exam in such questions when no clarity in the question?

The data is presented in a weird way, realistically how could number of responses yes for A, B, C, D, and No for E, are all 2005?

It's a response pattern, so that's the way the survey was submitted. 2005 people submitted the survey this way, we then strip the relevant answers from it.

Info to note: 5 yes/no question (a, b, c, d, e)
T=6655
5 distinct pattern (1,2,3,4,5)
Response pattern for each question no. of respondents who marked that question is mentioned.
Question: To find whether majority respond yes or no.
1. Question A: Filter question A to get Yes on top we see 2 yes --> 120 + 2005. This will not be more than half as 1/2*6655 will be 3000 + something.
So Majority answer no.

2. Question C: Repeat above step to filter yes we see 3152 + 2005 +x +y > 1/2 of total or 1/2 of 6655. Hence, majority yes

3. Ques. E: Yes in E gives 1002+12<12/2005. less than half. Hence majority no

Hi rohitsnful3

The question stem explains clearly " For each of these response patterns, the table shows the answers to each of the survey questions for that pattern as well as the number of survey respondents whose completed survey reflected that pattern."
Hence, they are the total of that particular pattern.
