Question

The difference in the number of female workforce in SA and MA sectors put together and the number of female workforce in PT sector is approximately close to how much? 

• A. 560000
• B. 510000
• C. 570000
• D. 550000
• E. 1320000

Hint:

Female = (F/(M+F)) × Total for each sector.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Female Workforce in SA and MA:
SA: female = \(\frac{3}{8} \times 720,000 = 270,000\)
MA: female = \(\frac{4}{7} \times 1,260,000 = 720,000\)
Total female in SA + MA = \(270,000 + 720,000 = 990,000\)

Step 2: Female Workforce in PT:
PT: M:F = 5:03, so female = \(\frac{3}{8} \times 1,140,000 = 427,500\)

Step 3: Difference:
\(990,000 - 427,500 = 562,500 \approx 560,000\)
