    On the basis of given table in question ,
    Let total number of film watchers be 100% .
    In city P , If 60% of them watched only on movie in a week , then 40% watched two or more movie in a week .
    ⇒ 40% ≈ 24000

    ∴ 1% ≈
    24000
    40

    Now , 60% ≈
    60 × 24000
    = 36000
    40

    Similarly for city Q,
    ⇒ 20% ≈
    20 × 30000
    = 7500
    80

    For city R,
    ⇒ 85% ≈
    85 × 24000
    = 136000
