    On the basis of given table in question ,
    ∵ Difference between the number of people in the age groups (46 – 55) and (16 – 25) = 0.975 million
    Percent of people in the age groups (46 – 55) = 18.25%
    And Percent of people in the age groups (16 – 25) = 15%
    ⇒ (18.25 – 15)% ≡ 0.975 million

    Correct Option: B
