Correct Answer: 5
Solution :
The percentage of the total population in the age group 56-65 = 12.5%
The percentages for the age groups up to 15, 16–25, and 26–35 = 20.00% + 18.25% + 16.75% = 55%
The total population of the city = $\frac{22}{0.55}$ = 40 million
$\therefore$ The number of people in the age group 56–65 = 12.5% of 40 million = 0.125 × 40 = 5 million
Hence, the correct answer is 5.
