Group-1 Mains Paper 5


Study the following pie-chart and answer the questions given below:
Preferences of students among six beverages in terms of degree of angle in the pie-chart




1.  The number of students who prefer Beverage C are approximately what percent of the number of students who prefer Beverage D?

Solution :
The number of students who prefer Beverage C are 14.40.

The number of students who prefer Beverage D are 122.40.

Therefore the required percentage is     14.40  x 100   = 11.765 %   
                                                          122.40
                                                          
 Approximately equal to 12%.

2.  How many students prefer Beverage B and Beverage E together?

Solution:
Given the total number of students = 6800

The angle made be Beverage B =57.60

The angle made be Beverage E =64.80

Therefore required percentage = (57.60 + 64.80) x 6800
                                                                   3600

                                                = 2312.

3.     What is the difference between the total number of students who prefer Beverage A and C together and the total number of students who prefer Beverage D and F together?

Solution:

Given the total number of students = 6800

The total number of students who prefer Beverage A and C are
79.20 + 14.40

The total number of students who prefer Beverage D and F are
122.40 + 21.60

Therefore the required percentage =
(79.20 + 14.40) – (122.40 +21.60)  x 6800     = 952.
                   3600

 
4.     The number of students who prefer Beverage E and F together are what percent of the total number of students?

Solution:

The number of students who prefer Beverage E are 64.80.

The number of students who prefer Beverage D are 21.60.
          
           Therefore required percentage is (64.80 + 21.60)  x   100%
                                                                     3600
                                                                   
                                                                        =24%
