Study the given pie chart and answer the question that follows. The pie chart shows the distribution (degree-wise) of the students who appeared in the annual examination from institutes P, Q, R, S and T in 2020. The total number of students who appeared is 3000 The ratio of the number of boys and girls who appeared in the examination from institutes S and T are 11 ∶ 12 and 5 ∶ 4, respectively. What is the difference between the total number of boys who appeared from institutes S and T and the total number of girls who appeared from these two institutes?

What is the difference between the total number of boys who appeared from institutes S and T and the total number of girls who appeared from these two institutes? Correct Answer 20
Given:
The ratio of the number of boys and girls who appeared in the examination from institutes S and T are 11 ∶ 12 and 5 ∶ 4
Total no of students who appeared for exam = 3000
Concept Used:
1° = total no / 360°
Calculation:
1° represents = 3000/360 = 8.3
boys and girls who appeared in the examination from institute S are 11x and 12x
11x + 12x = 82.8 x 8.3 _______(1° = 8.3)
⇒ 23x = 687.24
⇒ x = 29.88
boys and girls who appeared in the examination from institute T are 5y and 4y
5y + 4y = 54 x 8.3
9y = 448.2
y = 49.8
Boys appeared in the exam from institute S = 11x = 11 x 29.88 = 328.68
Girls appeared in the exam from institute S = 12x = 12 x 29.88 = 358.56
Boys appeared in the exam from institute T = 5y = 5 x 49.8 = 249
Girls appeared in the exam from institute T = 4y = 4 x 49.8 = 199.2
Total no of boys in S and T = 328.68 + 249 = 577.68
Total no of girls in S and T = 258.56 + 199.2 = 557.76
Difference between the total number of boys who appeared from institutes S and T and the total number of girls who appeared from these two institutes = 577.68 - 557.76 = 20 (apx)
Therefore, the difference between the total number of boys who appeared from institutes S and T and the total number of girls who appeared from these two institutes is 20
