1)

Students having IR as specialization form approximately what percent of students having HR as specialization?


A) 87

B) 106

C) 76

D) 62

E) 114

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Number of students in various specializations:

IB → $\left(\frac{19}{100}\times8000\right)$ = 1520

IR → $\left(\frac{16}{100}\times8000\right)$ = 1280

Finance → $\left(\frac{12}{100}\times8000\right)$ = 960

Marketing → $\left(\frac{22}{100}\times8000\right)$ = 1760

IT → $\left(\frac{17}{100}\times8000\right)$ = 1360

HR → $\left(\frac{14}{100}\times8000\right)$ = 1120

Required percentage = $\frac{1280}{1120}\times100$% 

= $\frac{800}{7}$% = 114.28% = 114% (approx.)
