In the following questions, the pie-chart shows the number of students admitted in different faculties of a college. Study the chart and answer the questions.

Question 144

How many students are more in commerce than in law if 1000 students are in
science?

Solution

No. of students in Science = 1000

Angle subtended by students in Science = 100°

=> Total no. of students = $$\frac{1000}{100}$$ * 360 = 3600

Angle subtended by students in Commerce = 65°

=> No. of students in Commerce = $$\frac{65}{360}$$ * 3600 = 650

Angle subtended by students in Law = 45°

=> No. of students in Law = $$\frac{45}{360}$$ * 3600 = 450

$$\therefore$$ No. of students more in commerce than in law = 650-450 = 200


(SHORTCUT) :

Since, angle subtended in Science = 100° and no. of students given in Science = 1000

=> 1° = 10 students

Difference in angle between commerce and law = 65-45 = 20°

=> Difference in students = 200 [Since, 1° = 10 students, => 20° = 200 students]
