Explanation:

From the common explanation, we have

In A, initially there were 1,80,000 soldiers, but now 1,80,000 + 20,000 = 2,00,000

In B, initially there were 1,20,000 soldiers, but now 1,20,000 + 80,000 = 2,00,000

Other divisions have same number of soldiers. Increase in overall soldiers in the country = 10,00,000 + (20,000 + 80,000) = 11,00,000

D division still has 2,00,000 soldiers as we calculated in common explanation.

So, the percentage that D would get=200000/1100000 x 100=18.18%
