  • Company A: 15%
  • Company B: 20%
  • Company C: 10%
  • Company D: 25%
  • Company E: 300 (number)
  • Company F: 17.5%

Pie Chart (ii): Percentage distribution of number of petrol cars manufactured

  • Company C: 12%
  • Company D: 30%
  • Company E: 210 (number)
  • Company F: 8%

Solution :

Given:

  • Total cars manufactured = 2400
  • Company B manufactures 20% of the total cars.
  • Company X manufactures 20% more cars than Company B.
  • Ratio of Diesel : Petrol cars in Company X = 5 : 3.

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
