Set-51

Study the pie charts carefully and answer the following questions.

Percentage wise distribution of females in different sectors

1. What is the total no. of males in sectors 21, 25 and 5 together?

Ans:2
Required no. of males
= (34+9+20) * 1500 – (26+12+38) * 700
= 94500 ─ 53200
= 41300

 

2. Total no. of females in sectors 32 and 28 are approximately what percent of total no. of males in these sectors together?

Ans:1
Total no. of females in required sectors
= (11+ 13) *700
= 16800
Total no. of males in these sectors together
= (30+7)*1500 ─ 16800
= 38700
Required percentage = 16800/38700 * 100 ≃ 43 %

 

3. No. of males in sector 28 is approximately what percent of the no. of total persons in sector 25?

Ans:4
Required percent = (30 * 1500 – 13 * 700)/(9 * 1500) * 100
= 35900/13500 * 100
≃ 266%

 

4. What is the ratio of no. of males in sector 32 to the no. of females in sector 25?

Ans:3
Required ratio = (7 * 1500 – 11 * 700)/(12 * 700)
= (10500-7700)/8400
= 2800: 8400
= 1/3

 

5. If 70% persons are eligible for voting from sectors 5 and 21 together and 75% females are eligible for voting from these two sectors together then find the no. of males who are eligible for voting from these two sectors together.

Ans:1
No. of males who are eligible for voting
= (20+34) * 1500 * 70/100 – (38+26) * 700 * 75/100
= 56700 ─ 33600
= 23100
