From the first question,

The number of Doctors in Borough IV, Ward 128 in Kolkata = 180

Thus 18% of the adult population = 180

So 100% of the adult population = (180/18)*100 = 1000

From the first pie-chart,

The percentage of the adult population who were Sales professionals = 14%

Thus, the number of Sales professionals in Borough IV, Ward 128 in Kolkata = (14/100)*1000 = 140

The total number of adult population in Borough IV, Ward 128 in Kolkata who were having their mother-tongue as Hindi

= (11/100)*1000

= 110

Out of the above, the number of Doctors with mother-tongue as Hindi were = (20/100)*180 = 36

It can be possible that nobody in the other professions except Sales had a mother-tongue as Hindi.

Thus the maximum possible Sales professionals with mother-tongue as Hindi = 110 – 36 = 74

Hence, the largest possible fraction of the Sales professionals in Borough IV, Ward 128 in Kolkata whose mother tongue was Hindi

= 74 : 110

= 74/110

= 37/55
