Answer
15.58
Why?
Calculation: The total distribution of mobile phones in Assam and Punjab together is: 4.2 lakhs (Assam) + 3.5 lakhs (Punjab) = 7.7 lakhs First, let's find the difference: Difference = 7.7 lakhs (Assam and Punjab) - 6.5 lakhs (M.P.) = 1.2 lakhs Percentage = (Difference/Total distribution in Assam and Punjab) × 100 Percentage = (1.2 lakhs/7.7 lakhs) × 100 = 15.58% (rounded to two decimal places) So, the total distribution of mobile phones in M.P. is 15.58% less than that of in Assam and Punjab together.
