Between 2007 and 2011, the United States of America received the largest number of asylum seekers = 278800 applications. Then the total number of asylum seekers applications received by France during the same period (approximately) is:

  • A.216000
  • B.262800
  • C.243900
  • D.Cannot be determined

Answer: D

The figure cannot be determined.

Each percentage in the table is a share of that year's total number of applications, and the yearly totals are not given. USA's five shares add up to 73, but the 278800 applications are the sum of 15%, 13%, 13%, 15% and 17% of five different totals. Without the yearly totals, France's 54 (the sum of its shares) cannot be turned into a number of applications.

If the totals were assumed equal, France would get \(\frac{54}{73} \times 278800 \approx 206000\), which matches none of the figures offered, so 216000, 262800 and 243900 are not obtainable by any reading.
