Solution: Total number of spectators = S

Since 40% of the spectators belonged to natives, percent of other than native spectators = (100 − 40) = 60%.

Thus, the number of other than native spectators = 60% of S = 0.6S

Of the above, Royal Challengers had the support of 10%.

Thus, the number of other than native supporters = 10% of 0.6S = 0.06S [Part becomes the whole]

Number of native supporters = 24,500

Thus, total number of supporters = 0.06S + 24, 500

Therefore, D is the correct answer.

Answer D
