Directions :The pie chart (i) shows the distribution (in percentage/numbers) of number of Cars (Petrol + Diesel) manufactured by six companies in 2019 and pie chart (ii) shows the distribution (in percentage/numbers) of number of petrol cars manufactured by same companies in 2019. Read the both pie charts given below carefully and answer the following questions.
Pie Chart (i): Percentage distribution of number of Cars (Petrol + Diesel) manufactured
Pie Chart (ii): Percentage distribution of number of petrol cars manufactured
If another company X manufactures 20% more cars than company B and the ratio of diesel to petrol cars manufactured by it is 5:3, then find the difference between petrol and diesel cars manufactured by it.
Correct Answer :
144
144
Solution :
Given:
Step 1: Find the number of cars manufactured by Company B
Cars manufactured by Company B = 20% of 2400 = 480
Step 2: Find the number of cars manufactured by Company X
Company X manufactures 20% more cars than Company B.
Cars manufactured by Company X = 480 × 120% = 576
Step 3: Find the number of diesel and petrol cars
Total parts = 5 + 3 = 8
Diesel cars = (5/8) × 576 = 360
Petrol cars = (3/8) × 576 = 216
Step 4: Find the required difference
Difference = 360 − 216 = 144
Answer: 144
