Quantitative Aptitude (RAS) Percentage

Directions : Study the following pie charts carefully and answer the questions given beside.

Number of soldiers in army of a country is 10,00,000. Total females in the army are 2,80,000. There are 6 divisions within the army namely A, B, C, D, E and F. In the meeting of Defence Minister with Chief of Army staff, number of soldier and their status within each division in terms of male and female population were discussed. Chief of Army Staff gave the following pie charts to Defence Minister.

Population of each division in terms of percentage has been given in pie chart-1, and pie chart-2 gives the number of males in those divisions in terms of degrees within pie chart of total male population in the army.

After a year from this meeting, in division A 20,000 more soldiers were admitted and in B 80,000 more were admitted and number of soldiers in all other divisions were not changed. If the pie chart-1 is again prepared, what percentage would division D get in the pie chart-1?

18.18%

12.5%

16.66%

For D, the percentage on the pie chart will remain same.

None of these

Explanation:

From the common explanation, we have

In A, initially there were 1,80,000 soldiers, but now 1,80,000 + 20,000 = 2,00,000

In B, initially there were 1,20,000 soldiers, but now 1,20,000 + 80,000 = 2,00,000

Other divisions have same number of soldiers. Increase in overall soldiers in the country = 10,00,000 + (20,000 + 80,000) = 11,00,000

D division still has 2,00,000 soldiers as we calculated in common explanation.

So, the percentage that D would get=200000/1100000 x 100=18.18%
