Hi Saurabh,
say x is the nos of motorists on the road
and let y be nos of motorists who exceed the speed limit
so .2y = nos of the motorists who exceed the posted speed limit do not receive speeding tickets
so .8y = nos of the motorists who exceed the posted speed limit & receive speeding tickets
now we have .8y = .1x (i.e. 10 percent of the total motorists exceed the posted speed limit and receive speeding tickets)
so y/x =1/8
% =12.5 percent
Hope this helps u.
