21/100*24700= 5187 for postgraduate.
13/100*27300= 3549 for graduate level.
The ratio will become 5187: 3549.
If you divide 5187 by 3= 1729.
Also, divide 3549 by 3= 1183.
Further, divide 1729 by 91= 19.
Also, divide 1183 by 91= 13.
See, 91*19 = 1729.
91*13 = 1183.
So, the last simplified ratio will become 19:13.
13/100*27300= 3549 for graduate level.
The ratio will become 5187: 3549.
If you divide 5187 by 3= 1729.
Also, divide 3549 by 3= 1183.
Further, divide 1729 by 91= 19.
Also, divide 1183 by 91= 13.
See, 91*19 = 1729.
91*13 = 1183.
So, the last simplified ratio will become 19:13.

21/100*24700:13/100*27300.
= 5187:3549 (Divide both sides by 3).
= 1729:1183.
= (1+7+2+9) : (1+1+8+3).
= 19:13.
= 5187:3549 (Divide both sides by 3).
= 1729:1183.
= (1+7+2+9) : (1+1+8+3).
= 19:13.

Could anyone explain why the % of Graduation for S is taken as 13?, while actually it was given as 14% in the Pie diagram?

I don't get it. How it arrived with 19:13 as an answer?

(21%24700/13%27300) = (19%13).

Why is it 13% instead of 14% on the pie graph?
