  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    As per first graph,
    The number of students in Collage A = Total number of students x 21%
    As per second graph,
    The number of girls from College A = Total number of girls x 23%

    So number of boys in Collage A = The total number of students in Collage A - The total number of girls in Collage A.
    Similarly for other collage also apply the same formula.

    Correct Option: C

    As per first graph,
    The number of students in Collage A = Total number of students x 21%
    As per second graph,
    The number of girls from College A = Total number of girls x 23%
    So number of boys in Collage A = The total number of students in Collage A - The total number of girls in Collage A.
    Number of boys in college A = 3500 x 21/100 - 1800 x 23/100 = 735 - 414 = 321
    Similarly we can get the number of boys from other collages.
    Number of boys in college B = 3500 x 9/100 - 1800 x 10/100 = 315 - 180 = 135
    Number of boys in college C = 3500 x 33/100 - 1800 x 31/100 = 1155 - 558 = 597
    Number of boys in college D = 3500 x 18/100 - 1800 x 11/100 = 630 - 198 = 432
    Hence, number of boys in college C has maximum.
