    The document estimates the number of pharmacy shops in Delhi based on several assumptions: it assumes 50 people per locality, calculates there are 500,000 localities based on Delhi's population, and estimates each locality has at least 1 pharmacy, totaling 500,000 pharmacies. It further assumes hospitals make up 25% of Delhi's area, calculates the number of hospitals is around 160, and estimates each hospital has at least 1 pharmacy, totaling an additional 160 pharmacies. Therefore, the estimated total number of pharmacies in Delhi is 500,160.

    Guesstimates-

    Q2. Estimate the number of pharmacy shops in Delhi.

    1. Assumption- Not considering online pharmacies


    2. Area of Delhi- 1600 sq kms
    3. Population of Delhi = 25 million
    4. Let’s assume 50 people live in 1 locality.
    5. 2 regions- hospitals, non-hospitals
    6. Number of localities = 25 million/50 = 500,000 localities
    7. Each locality has one pharmacy at least, hence 500,000 pharmacies.
    8. Let’s assume all the hospitals in Delhi constitute up to 25% of the total
    area.
    9. So, area covered by all hospitals is 400 sq kms.
    10.Each hospital has area of 2.787 sq kms (approx. to 2.5 sq kms)
    11.So, no. of hospitals in Delhi is 400/2.5 = 160
    12.Hospitals have 1 pharmacy each at least, so 160 more pharmacies.
    13.Hence, total number of pharmacies = 500,160.
