    Question

    Study the following information to answer these questions:
    In a school consisting of 2800 children, the ratio of girls to boys is 4:3 respectively. All the children have taken
    different hobby classes viz. Singing, Dancing, Painting and Cooking. 20 per cent of the boys take Painting classes.
    The number of girls taking dancing classes is five-fourth of the number of boys taking the same. One-fourth of the
    girls take cooking classes. The total number of students taking cooking classes is 700. Two fifth of the boys take
    singing classes and the remaining boys take dancing classes. The girls taking singing classes is twice the number
    of boys taking the same. The remaining girls take painting classes.
    The number of boys taking cooking classes is what per cent of the total number of children in the school?

    A.

    9.68

    B.

    12.61

    C.

    10.71

    D.

    8.43

    Correct option is C

    Given :
    Total students = 2800
     Ratio of girls to boys = 4:3
    Total number of students taking cooking classes = 700

    Formula used : Percentage = PartWhole\frac{\text Part}{Whole} x 100​

    Solution :
    Total number of boys = 37\frac{3}{7} x 2800=1400
    Total number of students taking cooking classes = 700
    Girls in Cooking =  14\frac{1}{4} x 1600 = 400
    Boys taking cooking classes =700−400=300
    Percentage of Boys Taking Cooking Classes = 3002800\frac{300}{2800} x 100= 10.71%
    Thus the correct answer is (C) 10.71%
