The given pie chart shows the number of students admitted in to different classes of a school in the academic year 2022-23.
How many students were more in Class 10 than in Class 12 if 600 students were admitted in to Class 8?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 280.
The number of students admitted in class 8 = 600
So, 15% = 600
⇒ 100% = (600/15) × 100 = 4000
The number of students admitted in class 10 = (25/100) × 4000 = 1000
The number of students admitted in class 12 = (18/100) × 4000 = 720
Difference = 1000 - 720 = 280
Therefore, a total of 280 students were admitted to Class 10 compared to Class 12.
