Answer: England and France together had 3000+1000 = 4000 tourists, which is exactly 12000/3 = 1/3 of the total. Answer: C
- Compute grand total of tourists: T = 2000 + 3000 + 800 + 600 + 2400 + 2200 + 1000 = 12000
- Find one-third target: Target = 12000 / 3 = 4000
- Evaluate each option pair: A: USA+Japan = 2000+2400 = 4400 (not 4000) B: USA+Australia = 2000+2200 = 4200 (not 4000) C: England+France = 3000+1000 = 4000 (exactly 1/3) D: Japan+Australia = 2400+2200 = 4600 (not 4000)
