The given pie charts show the number of candidates who enrolled for a medical entrance examination in 2010 and those who qualified the examination in seven medical institutes of India. The total number of candidates who appeared for the entrance examinations were 1,80,000, and those who qualified were 75,000. Study the charts carefully and answer the question that follows. The combined number of candidates who qualified for institutes B and E is what percentage (correct to one place of decimal) of the combined number of candidates who enrolled for institutes C and D? Correct Answer 38.4%

Calculation:

The combined number of candidates who qualified for institutes B and E = 75000 × (15 + 20)% = 26250

The combined number of candidates who enrolled for institutes C and D = 180000 × (18 + 20)% = 68400

Required % = 26250/68400 × 100% = 38.37% ≈ 38.4%

∴ The required percentage is 38.4%.
