Question

What is the difference between the number of placed students from mechanical and civil students?

• A. 21
• B. 16
• C. 24
• D. 32
• E.

Hint:

To find the difference between two categories, subtract the respective percentages and calculate that percentage of the total number of students.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

From the pie chart, the percentage of students placed in Mechanical is 28%, and in Civil is 17%. The difference in the percentage of students placed is: \[ 28\% - 17\% = 11\%. \] So, the difference in the number of students placed is \( 11\% \) of the total number of students (1035 students): \[ \frac{11}{100} \times 1035 = 113.85 \, \text{students}. \] Thus, the difference in the number of placed students between Mechanical and Civil students is approximately 114 students.
