Study the information given below carefully and answer the question that follows :
The following table shows the percentage distribution of workforce in India and the ratio of male to female workforce in India in various sectors during a particular year. Further, its known that the total work force in India during the given year was 6000000.
Table
The number of male workforce in SA and MA sectors put together is approximately what percent of the total number of workforce in the PT sector?
Solution
Male workforce in SA sector = $$\ \frac{\ 5}{8}\times\ $$ Total workforce in SA sector = $$\ \frac{\ 5}{8}\times\ \frac{\ 12}{100}\times\ 6000000\ =\ 450000$$
Male workforce in MA sector = $$\ \frac{\ 3}{7}\times\ $$ Total workforce in MA sector = $$\ \frac{\ 3}{7}\times\ \ \frac{\ 21}{100}\times\ 6000000\ =\ 540000$$
Number of male workforce in SA and MA sectors put together = 450000+540000 = 990000
Total workforce in PT sector = $$\frac{\ 19}{100}\times\ 6000000\ =\ 1140000$$
Required percent = $$\ \frac{\ 990000}{1140000}\times\ 100\ =\ 86.84\%\ \approx\ 87\%$$
Option B is the answer.
