Study the given pie charts and answer the question that follows.
The pie-charts show the details of graduate and post graduate students of the Universities A, B, C, D, E, F.
If the total number of graduates across all universities is 24,800 and that of postgraduates is 18,400, then the ratio of the graduates in the universities A and E together to the postgraduates in the universities B and C will be:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 589:483.
The graduates in the universities A and E together = 24800 × [(22 + 16)/100] = 24800 × (38/100) = 9424
The postgraduates in the universities B and C together = 18400 × [(19 + 23)/100] = 18400 × (42/100) = 7728
Required ratio = 9424 : 7728 = 589 : 483
Hence, the ratio of the graduates in universities A and E to the postgraduates in universities B and C will be 589 : 483.
