The bar shows the total number of students in four schools and it also shows the difference between boys and girls in these schools.
25% of the total students in C are absent and out of that 10 girls are absent. Find the absent boys in C is how many more/less than total girls in D.
Correct Answer :
22
Solution :
The correct option is 22.
From the given bar chart, we can extract the values for total students (Boys + Girls) represented by the blue bars and the difference between boys and girls (Boys - Girls) represented by the orange bars:
For School C:
Total students (Boys + Girls) = 48
Difference (Boys - Girls) = 12
For School D:
Total students (Boys + Girls) = 52
Difference (Boys - Girls) = 4
First, let us calculate the number of absent boys in School C:
Total number of students in School C = 48
Number of absent students in School C = 25% of 48
Given that the number of absent girls in School C is 10:
Absent boys in School C = Total absent students - Absent girls
Next, let us calculate the total number of girls in School D:
Let the number of boys in D be and the number of girls in D be .
From the bar chart:
(Equation 1)
(Equation 2)
Subtracting Equation 2 from Equation 1:
So, the total number of girls in School D is 24.
Finally, we compare the absent boys in School C to the total girls in School D:
Difference = Total girls in School D - Absent boys in School C
Thus, the number of absent boys in School C is 22 less than the total girls in School D.
