On the basis of given graph in question ,
Number of females from the organisations B and C = 3500 + 4000 = 7500
Number of males from the organisations D and E = 2250 + 3250 = 5500
Required ratio = Number of females from the organisations B and C : Number of males from the organisations D and ECorrect Option: D
On the basis of given graph in question ,

Number of males from the organisations D and E = 2250 + 3250 = 5500
Required ratio = Number of females from the organisations B and C : Number of males from the organisations D and E
Required ratio = 7500 : 5500 = 15 : 11
- By how much percentage is the average number of females from all the organisations together is more than the number of males in organisation ‘D’?

As per the given bar graph , we have
Total number of women = 3000 + 3500 + 4000 + 1500 + 3700 = 15700
Number of organisation = 5Average number of women = Total number of women Number of organisation Average number of women = 15700 = 3140 5
Number of men in organisation D = 2250
Difference = 3140 - 2250 = 890
Correct Option: C
As per the given bar graph , we have
Total number of women = 3000 + 3500 + 4000 + 1500 + 3700 = 15700
Number of organisation = 5Average number of women = Total number of women Number of organisation Average number of women = 15700 = 3140 5
Number of men in organisation D = 2250
Difference = 3140 - 2250 = 890Required percent = Difference × 100 Number of men in organisation D Required percent = 890 × 100 ≈ 40% 2250

According to given bar graph , we have
Total number of men = (3500 + 4500 + 4700 + 2250 + 3250) = 18200
Total number of women = 3000 + 3500 + 4000 + 1500 + 3700 = 15700
Required difference = Total number of men - Total number of womenCorrect Option: C
According to given bar graph , we have
Total number of men = (3500 + 4500 + 4700 + 2250 + 3250) = 18200
Total number of women = 3000 + 3500 + 4000 + 1500 + 3700 = 15700
Required difference = Total number of men - Total number of women
Required difference = 18200 – 15700 = 2500

As per the given bar graph , we have
Total number of students in session 2004-05 ⇒ 600 + 400 + 200 = 1200
Total number of students in session 2007-08 ⇒ 700 + 500 + 250 = 1450
Total increase = 1450 - 1200 = 250Percentage increase = Total increase × 100 Total number of students in session 2004-05
Correct Option: D
As per the given bar graph , we have
Total number of students in session 2004-05 ⇒ 600 + 400 + 200 = 1200
Total number of students in session 2007-08 ⇒ 700 + 500 + 250 = 1450
Total increase = 1450 - 1200 = 250Percentage increase = Total increase × 100 Total number of students in session 2004-05 Percentage increase = 250 × 100 = 20.83% 1200
