Study the pie chart given below and answer the following questions. Pie charts shows the percentage distribution of total students in five different schools (A, B, C, D and E) and percentage distribution of total boys in these five schools in year 2019.
Out of total boys in school A, 2% failed the exam. If out of total students in class A, 7% failed the exam, then girls in school A who failed the exam are what percent of the total girls in school C?
Correct Answer :
12.5%
Solution :
The correct option is 12.5%.
Let's analyze the data provided in the pie charts:
1. Data from Pie Charts:
Total Students across all five schools = 5000
Total Boys across all five schools = 2800
2. Calculate students, boys, and girls in School A:
Percentage of total students in School A = 24%
Percentage of total boys in School A = 22%
3. Calculate total failed students and failed boys in School A:
Given that 7% of total students in School A failed the exam:
Given that 2% = % of total boys in School A failed the exam:
4. Calculate failed girls in School A:
5. Calculate total girls in School C:
Percentage of total students in School C = 28%
Percentage of total boys in School C = 30%
6. Required Percentage Calculation:
We need to find what percent the failed girls in School A (70) are of the total girls in School C (560):
Hence, the girls in school A who failed the exam are 12.5% of the total girls in school C.
