The given pie chart shows the percentage wise distribution of books in 5 different states A, B, C, D and E. The total number of books is 2500.
What is the difference between the total number of books in states B and C together and the total number of books in states D and E together?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Total number of books in state B & C = 24% + 18% = 42%
Total number of books in state D & E = 25% + 20% = 45%
Required difference = 45% - 42% = 3%
Now , 3% of 2500 = \(\frac{3}{100}\) × 2500
= 75
