Study the given pie-chart and answer the question that follows. The pie-chart represents the percentage distribution of candidates qualified in a bank examination from six different districts of a State in 2016. The total number of qualified candidates from the State is 68000. If 22% and 20% of the qualified students from Districts B and C. respectively. were 22 years old or below. then the number of qualified students who were above 22 years from District B is what percent(to the nearest integer) of the number of qualified students who were above 22 years from District C? |
60 80 67 87 |
87 |
Total number of candidates = 68000 Number of candidates in district B = \(\frac{25 }{100}\) × 68000 = \(\frac{1 }{4}\) × 68000 = 17000 In state B , 22% students qualified are of 22years and below from B . Number of students qualified of 22years and above from B = \(\frac{100-22 }{100}\) × 17000 = \(\frac{78 }{100}\) × 17000 = 13260 Number of candidates in district C = \(\frac{28 }{100}\) × 68000 = \(\frac{7}{25}\) × 68000 = 19040 In state C , 20% students qualified are of 22years and below from C . Number of students qualified of 22years and above from C = \(\frac{100-20 }{100}\) × 19040 = \(\frac{4 }{5}\) × 19040 = 15232 Required percentage = \(\frac{13260 }{15232}\) × 100 = 87.05% = 87% ( approx ) |
