Answer» Let us start with 70% who lost one eyeConsider 80% lost one ear.This means 20% did not lose one ear.Suppose this 20% all lost one eye as well.This means 70% - 20% = 50% lose one eye and one leg Consider 75% lost arm next.This means 25% did not lose arm.Suppose this 25% all lose one eye and one ear.This means 50% - 25% = 25% lose ear, one eye and one arm Consider 85% lost a legThis means 15% did not lose leg.Suppose this 15% all lose ear, one eye and one arm.This means 25% - 15% = 10% lost all 4 limbs.Now, it is given that x% lost all four limbs. So, x=10 |
