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 difference in the number of female workforce in SA and MA sectors put together and the number of female workforce in PT sector is approximately close to how much ?
Solution
Female workforce in SA sector = $$\ \frac{\ 3}{8}\times\ $$ Total workforce in SA sector = $$\ \frac{\ 3}{8}\times\ \frac{\ 12}{100}\times\ 6000000\ =\ 270000$$
Female workforce in MA sector = $$\ \frac{\ 4}{7}\times\ $$ Total workforce in MA sector = $$\ \frac{\ 4}{7}\times\ \frac{\ 21}{100}\times6000000\ =\ 720000\ $$
Number of female workforce in SA and MA sectors put together = 270000+720000 = 990000
Number of female workforce in PT sector = $$\ \frac{3}{8}\times\ $$ Total workforce in PT sector = $$\ \frac{3}{8}\times\ \frac{19\ }{100}\times\ 6000000\ =$$ 427500
Required difference = 990000-427500 = 56250 which is close to 560000
Option A is the answer.
