Correct Answer :

Option A

1120

Solution :

The correct answer is 1120.


From the pie charts provided in the question:



1. Total Data Given:
- Total number of students selected = 12,000
- Total number of boys selected = 7,000


2. Calculate Total Students in Zones B, D, and F:
- Percentage of total students selected from Zone B = 12%
- Percentage of total students selected from Zone D = 20%
- Percentage of total students selected from Zone F = 10%
- Total percentage of students from Zone B, D, and F together = 12% + 20% + 10% = 42%


Total students (B + D + F) = 42 % of 12000 = 42 100 × 12000 = 5040


3. Calculate Total Boys in Zones B, D, and F:
- Percentage of boys selected from Zone B = 10%
- Percentage of boys selected from Zone D = 13%
- Percentage of boys selected from Zone F = 10%
- Total percentage of boys from Zone B, D, and F together = 10% + 13% + 10% = 33%


Total boys (B + D + F) = 33 % of 7000 = 33 100 × 7000 = 2310


4. Calculate Total Girls in Zones B, D, and F Together:
Since Total Girls = Total Students - Total Boys:


Total girls (B + D + F) = 5040 - 2310 = 2730


5. Calculate Total Boys Selected from Zone B and Zone D Together:
- Percentage of boys from Zone B and Zone D together = 10% + 13% = 23%


Total boys (B + D) = 23 % of 7000 = 23 100 × 7000 = 1610


6. Calculate the Required Difference:


Difference = Total girls (B + D + F) - Total boys (B + D)


Difference = 2730 - 1610 = 1120


Therefore, the total number of girls selected from zone B, zone D, and zone F together is 1120 more than the total number of boys selected from zone B & zone D together.
