Show Answer
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution: (1) Number of elephants in both reserves in 2002
$=42+28=70$
Number of African elephants
$=\frac{70 \times 40}{100}=28$
Number of elephants in both reserves in 2004
$=44+56=100$
Number of African elephants
$\Rightarrow 65 \%$ of $100=65$
Required difference
$=65-28=37$
