Fatal bhai no!!
The answer is 12000…
Firstly you should understand that of a whole if 40 % is 8000 than 60 % would be more than 8000. 16000 would tell you that one third of the people overeat but we know 40 % overeat so C is wrong as D is > than C so D is also wrong so C is the correct answer , look you don’t even need maths for it.
So fatal you don’t get a sweet today.:

Pakora thanks lekin koi bhee nai…mein kahan se mahrani ban gai and u and fatalist arent any khaaksaars either, u guys r more talented than me im sure of that…
kaash aisa hota k mujhay koi zaroorat nai hoti mehnat karne kee par aisi koi baat nai hae…i mean, most of the words in the analogies, i did not even know their meanings i had to look them up from webster.com…and ive completely forgotten the math i havent touched that since high school…my preparation is near zero and my motivation is in the negative scale 
baaki jo mere doosre weakpoints haen which r gona play a major role in my grad school admission process…un ko idhar toh khayr nai bayaan kar sakti but believe me…i am not in so good of a position as u might think 
i mean Allah ka laakh laakh shukar hae i went to stanford for undergrad and to this day i am still wondering how actually i got in but believe me just becoz i went there it doesnt mean i am super smart or that its all going to be smooth sailing for me from here on…mere raastay mein utni hi rukavtein haen, if not more, than anyone else’s lekin alhamdulillah…bas Allah behtar karay ga inshallah for u guys and for me.. 
anyways…will try to be back in this thread soon..
