CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Tuesday to Friday: $180 + 150 + 270 + 300 = 900$ visitors, paying ₹36,000.
Saturday and Sunday: $420 + 480 = 900$ visitors, paying ₹54,000.
Weekend share: $\frac{54{,}000}{90{,}000} \times 100 = 60\%$ .

Worth noting

50% is the weekend share of visitors, not of income; weekend tickets cost more. 150% compares weekend income with weekday income instead of with the total. 40% is the weekday share.
