1. Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions that follow:
No. Of students (in thousands) who opted for Three Different Specializations during the Given Five Years in a University.

Out of the total number of students who opted for the given three subjects in the year 2009, 38% were girls. How many boys opted for Mathematics in the same year?
= 20000 + 20000 + 5000
= 45000
Number of girls = 38% of 45000
= 45000 ×
= 17100
Out of these, the number of boys who opted for Mathematics cannot be found.

Solution:
Number of students who opted for the given three subjects in the year 2009 is= 20000 + 20000 + 5000
= 45000
Number of girls = 38% of 45000
