    Answer:

    False

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that

    There are 126000 people living in a town

    Out of which 52920 people in the town own a car

    So based on this, the group announces that fewer than 40% of residents own a car

    We need to find out the statement is correct or not

    So here we determine the percentage

    = 52,920 ÷ 126,000

    = 42%

    Since it is more than 40%

    So the given statement is false
