Foreign visitors to Region B form 15%, 20% and 25% of the tourist visits during 2010, 2011 and 2012 respectively. Assume that each foreign tourist spends ₹ 7,000, while each domestic tourist spends ₹ 3,000. What is the total revenue (in ₹ crores) from tourist spends during 2010–2012?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Split each year's Region B arrivals into foreign and domestic, then price them at ₹7,000 and ₹3,000 respectively.

Revenue in each year (₹ crore):

45.0+43.7+68.0=₹156.745.0 + 43.7 + 68.0 = ₹156.7 crores.


Trap: 410 is simply the sum of Region B's arrivals (125+115+170)(125 + 115 + 170), not a revenue figure.
