Question:

Study the pie-chart and answer the question.

Distribution (degree-wise) of the number of employees of a company working in 5 departments A, B, C, D and E.

The number of employees working in department C is what percentage more than the total number of employees working in D and E? (Your answer should be correct to one decimal place.)

Options:

23.2

20.6

22.8

21.4

Correct Answer:

21.4

Explanation:

Number of employees working in C = \(\frac{122.4}{360}\) × 3200 =  1088

Number of employees working in D & E = \(\frac{64.8 + 36}{360}\) × 3200 

= \(\frac{100.8}{360}\) × 3200 = 896

Required percentage = \(\frac{1088 - 896 }{896}\) × 100

= \(\frac{192 }{896}\) × 100

= 21.4%
