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? 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:

 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
