The given pie chart shows the percentage-wise distribution of news items published under various sections in a newspaper in the last month. Study the pie chart and answer the following question.

If the total number of news items published in 4 week period were 48000 and if 30 news items can be published on any one page, then how many pages will be there related to Advertisement and Sports news in 2 weeks?

Correct option is B

Given:

The total number of news items published in a 4-week period = 48,000

News items related to Advertisement = 12%

News items related to Sports = 8%

30 news items can be published on one page.

We are to find how many pages will be related to Advertisement and Sports news in 2 weeks.

Solution:

Advertisement News Items $$= 48,000 \times \frac{12}{100} = 5,760$$​

Sports News Items = $$48,000 \times \frac{8}{100} = 3,840$$​

Total news items related to Advertisement and Sports:

Total = 5,760 + 3,840 = 9,600

Since 9,600 items correspond to 4 weeks, the news items in 2 weeks will be half of this value:

News Items in 2 Weeks =$$\frac{9,600}{2} = 4,800$$​

Given that 30 news items can be published on one page, the number of pages needed is:

Number of Pages =$$\frac{4,800}{30} = 160$$​
The number of pages related to Advertisement and Sports news in 2 weeks will be 160.
