The break-up of the students in a university by subject major is given in the polar pie-chart. The bar chart shows the number of students who major in physics by geographic location.

Question 24

12% of all students are from Chennai. What is the largest possible percentage of economics students that can be from Chennai, rounded off to the nearest integer?

Solution

Total number of Physics major from all locations = 225

$$\therefore $$ Total number of students = $$\frac{225}{0.18}$$ = 1250

Students from Chennai = 12% * 1250 = 150

Given, number of Physics majors from chennai = 40

$$\therefore $$ maximum possible number of economic students from chennai = 150 - 40 = 110

Maximum percentage of students = $$\frac{110}{150}$$ * 100 % = 73.33 %

Hence, option A.
