Data Interpretation Ques 23

Directions : The following table shows the details about the percentage distribution of students admitted in four different colleges for five different subjects. The table also consists of respective male and female ratio of all the students in each subject. Consider the following table and answer the questions given below :

Students $\rightarrow$ Physics Chemistry Commerce History Maths
Colleges $\downarrow$
$A$ $20 \%$ $15 \%$ $25 \%$ $20 \%$ $20 \%$
$B$ $15 \%$ $15 \%$ $15 \%$ $30 \%$ $25 \%$
$C$ $30 \%$ $20 \%$ $10 \%$ $20 \%$ $20 \%$
$D$ $25 \%$ $25 \%$ $10 \%$ $30 \%$ $10 \%$
Ratio between
male and female
$2: 3$ $3: 2$ $1: 2$ $2: 1$ $1: 1$

Total students distribution among four colleges A, B, C and D is $2: 3: 3: 2$

If the total number of students admitted in college $A$ is 800 , what is the sum of the number of students in Maths and History in college $A$?

320

360

300

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 23.(1)

Solution: (1) Total number of students in the college $D$

$=\left(\frac{800}{2}\right) \times 2=800$

$\therefore$ Number of students in History and Commerce

$=800 \times(30 \%+10 \%)$

$=\frac{800 \times 40}{100}=320$
