The pie-chart shows the annual car production (percentage wise) of six countries A, B, C, D, E and F.
Study the pie chart and answer the question.
Total number of cars produced = 40,00,000
If 45% of the number of cars produced by these six countries are diesel cars and the rest are petrol cars, then how many petrol cars were produced?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Total number of cars produced = 40,00,000
Number of Diesel cars = 45% of total number of cars
Now , Number of Petrol cars = Total number of cars - Number of Diesel cars
Number of petrol cars = 100% - 45% = 55%
ATQ ,
100% = 40,00,000 = 40 lakh
1 % = \(\frac{40 }{100 }\)
Number of petrol cars = 55% = 55 × \(\frac{40 }{100 }\) = 22 lakh
