The charts given below represents data of number of students of four colleges P, Q, R and S. Based on the information given below, answer the questions that follow:
Note:
1. Number of girls in college Q is 10.
2. Difference between number of boys and girls in college P is 100. (Number of boys is greater than number of girls).
Note: 1. Number of girls in college Q is 10.
Find the ratio of boys in Q & R together and total girls in R & S together?
Correct Answer :
60 : 109
Solution :
The correct answer is 60 : 109.
Here is the step-by-step breakdown of the solution:
1. Understand the parameters from the charts and notes:
- From the first pie chart: Total number of boys = 1200.
- The distribution of boys across colleges P, Q, R, and S is , 20%, 30%, and respectively.
- From the second pie chart (implied by standard distribution): Total number of students = 2500.
- The distribution of total students across colleges P, Q, R, and S is 20%, 10%, 45%, and 25% respectively.
- Note 1: Number of girls in college Q is 10.
- Note 2: Difference between boys and girls in P is 100 (Boys > Girls).
2. Calculate the number of boys in colleges Q and R:
- Boys in college Q:
- Boys in college R:
3. Analyze college P to find the value of 'a':
- Total students in college P = 20% of 2500:
- Let the number of boys and girls in college P be and respectively. We are given:
- Solving these equations:
- Now, find the percentage of boys in P ():
4. Find the value of 'b' and calculate boys in S:
- Since the total percentage of boys must sum to 100%:
- Boys in college S:
5. Calculate total girls in colleges R and S:
- Total students in college R = 45% of 2500:
- Girls in college R:
- Total students in college S = 25% of 2500:
- Girls in college S:
- Total girls in R & S together:
6. Find the required ratio:
- Boys in Q & R together:
- Ratio of Boys in (Q + R) to Girls in (R + S):
