The bar graph below shows the number of boys and girls of a certain locality and the number of hours per week that they spend on playing video games.
The number of boys spending more than 10 hours per week on playing video games is what percentage (rounded off to the nearest integer) more/less than the number of girls spending less than 13 hours per week on playing video games?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 26% more.
Number of boys spending more than 10 hours per week = 79 + 33 + 94 + 76 = 282
Number of girls spending less than 13 hours per week = 36 + 48 + 39 + 45 + 56 = 224
Difference = 282 - 224 = 58
Required percentage = (58/224) × 100 = 25.89% ≈ 26%
