Option A

57

Solution :

The correct option is 57.

Step-by-step Explanation:

First, let's analyze the given pie chart and table to determine the relevant values.

1. Find the number of Government projects in Q-2:
From the table, the number of government projects handled in Q-2 is directly given as:
Government projects in Q-2 = 160

2. Find the number of Private projects in Q-3:
From the table, the percentage of private projects handled in Q-3 is 40%.
Since a quarter's projects consist only of private and government projects, the percentage of government projects in Q-3 is:
100% - 40% = 60%
We are given that the number of government projects in Q-3 is 420. Therefore, 60% of the total projects in Q-3 equals 420. Let T_3 be the total number of projects in Q-3:
60% × T_3 = 420
T_3 = 420 / 0.60 = 700
Now, we can find the number of private projects in Q-3:
Private projects in Q-3 = 40% × 700 = 280

3. Calculate the required percentage:
We need to find what percentage the government projects in Q-2 (160) is of the private projects in Q-3 (280):
Percentage = (160 / 280) × 100
Percentage = (4 / 7) × 100
Percentage ≈ 57.14%
Rounding to the nearest integer, we get 57%.
