Ques - Sometimes ago in a Cinema hall a blockbuster movie was being shown. Due to excessive demand of the show, manager of the cinema hall increased the prices of tickets in all the three categories. 25% in first class, 12.5% in special class and 40% in balcony.

Solution -

Since,

We don't know that how many persons bought ticket of all the categories individually.

i.e.,

5x + 9y + 14z = 218925

but,

we don't know anything about x, y, z.

Hence,

The correct answer is option (d) data incificient.
