Study the following pie chart and answer the question.

Total number of Children = 5,400

Total number of Children attending School = 3,200

The total number of children NOT attending school in villages A, E and D is approximately what percentage of the total number of children in A, B and C?

Correct option is D

Given:
Total number of children = 5400
Children attending school = 3200
Pie chart % distribution of total children and children attending school provided.
Formula Used:
Number = $$\frac{(\text{Total × Percentage})}{100}$$​​
Required Percentage = $$\frac{(\text{Required Number})}{(\text{Total of A, B, and C})} × 100$$​​
Solution:
Finding the number of children in each village (total 5400)
Village A: $$28\% \times 5400 = 1512$$​​
Village B: $$18\% \times 5400 = 972$$​​
Village C: $$14\% \times 5400 = 756$$​​
Village D: $$16\% \times 5400 = 864$$​​
Village E: $$24\% \times 5400 = 1296$$​​
Finding the number of children attending school in each village (total 3200)
Village A: $$22\% \times 3200 = 704$$​​
Village B: $$16\% \times 3200 = 512$$​​
Village C: $$18\% \times 3200 = 576$$​​
Village D: $$15\% \times 3200 = 480$$​​
Village E: $$29\% \times 3200 = 928$$​​
Calculating the number of children NOT attending school in villages A, E, and D
Village A NOT attending = 1512 - 704 = 808
Village E NOT attending = 1296 - 928 = 368
Village D NOT attending = 864 - 480 = 384
Total NOT attending = 808 + 368 + 384 = 1560
Total number of children in villages A, B, and C
Total (A + B + C) = 1512 + 972 + 756 = 3240
Required Percentage = $$\left( \frac{1560}{3240} \right) \times 100 =48.15$$ $$\approx48$$ %​

Thus, the correct option is (d) 48
