The pie-chart represents the percentage distribution of candidates qualified in a bank examination from six different districts of a State in 2016. The total number of qualified candidates from the State is 68000.

Out of the total selected candidates from Districts B and D, rural candidates are 60% and 40% respectively. The number of selected urban candidates from B is what percent (up to one decimal place) more/ess than the number of selected urban candidates from D?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Less, 7.4

Percentage of selected urban candidates of District B = 100% - 60% = 40%

⇒ Number of selected urban candidates of District B = 40% of 25% of 68000

⇒ 40100\frac{40}{100} × 25100\frac{25}{100} × 68000 = 6800

Percentage of selected urban candidates of District D = 100% - 40% = 60%

⇒ Number of selected urban candidates of District D = 60% of 18% of 68000

⇒ 7344

Number of the selected urban candidates of District B (7344 - 6800) is 544 less than that of District D. 

Required percentage = 5447344\frac{544}{7344} × 100 

⇒ 7.4%
