  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Required ratio = Number of boy students for course D : Number of girl students for course D

    Correct Option: A

    Given:-Total number of students for course D = 35% of 1200 = 420
    Number of girl students for course D = 30% of 800 = 240 ,
    Number of boy students for course D = Total number of students for course D - Number of girl students for course D = 420 − 240 = 180
    Required ratio = Number of boy students for course D : Number of girl students for course D
    Required ratio = 180 : 240 = 3 : 4

    Number of boys for difference courses are
    A = 0; B = 100; C = 44; D = 180; E = 32; F = 44.

    Correct Option: C

    From above given pie-chart , we can see that
    Number of boys for difference courses are
    A = 0; B = 100; C = 44; D = 180; E = 32; F = 44.
    Hence ,C and F pair of courses are the number of boys the same .


Direction: Study the pie chart carefully to answer the question that follows

  1. The number of students enrolled in Cooking classes is what percent of those enrolled in Dancing classes?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Required percentage = number of students enrolled in Cooking classes x 100/ number of students enrolled in Dance classes

    Correct Option: B

    Required percentage = number of students enrolled in Cooking classes x 100/ number of students enrolled in Dance classes
    Required percentage = 22 x 100/21 = 104.76



Direction: Study the following pie-diagrams carefully to answer these questions

  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    In 2008, number of students in Science = Total Student in 2008 x 24%
    In 2009, number of students in Science = Total Student in 2009 x 22%
    In 2008, number of students in Commerce= Total Student in 2008 x 22%
    In 2009, number of students in Commerce= Total Student in 2009 x 24%
    In 2008, number of students in Arts = Total Student in 2008 x 12%
    In 2009, number of students in Arts = Total Student in 2009 x 11%
    In 2008, number of students in Medicine= Total Student in 2008 x 11%
    In 2009, number of students in Medicine= Total Student in 2009 x 10%
    Required percentage = (number of students in 2009 - number of students in 2008) x 100 / number of students in 2008

    Correct Option: D

    In 2008, number of students in Science = Total Student in 2008 x 24%
    In 2008, number of students in Science = 35000 x 24% = 35000 x 24/100 = 8400
    In 2009, number of students in Science = Total Student in 2009 x 22%
    In 2009, number of students in Science = 40000 x 22% = 40000 x 22/100 = 8800
    Increase in number of students of Science = 8800 - 8400 = 400
    Hence, Increase percentage = 400 x 100 /8400 = 400/84 = 4.7%
    Similary
    Increase in number of students of Commerce = 24x40000/100 - 22x35000/100 = 9600 - 7700 = 1900
    Hence, their increase percentage = 1900x100 /7700 = 1900/77 = 24.67%
    Increase in number of student of Arts = 11/100 x 40000 - 12/100 x 35000 = 4400 - 4200 = 200
    Hence , their increase percentage = 200/4200 x 100 = 4.67
    Increase in number of student of Medicine = 10/100 x 40000 - 11/100 x 35000 = 4000 - 3850 = 150
    Hence, their increase percentage = 150/3850 x 100 = 3.89%
    So, in Medicine the percentage increase in the number of student was minimum from 2008 to 2009
