Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
For each club, the number of females equals the total people in that club minus the number of males in that club: females = people − males. Each pie's percentages are taken on its OWN base — pie (i) on 2500 total people, pie (ii) on 1200 total males — so always convert a percentage to an absolute count on the correct base before combining the two charts.
Application
People in each club (base 2500): B = 16% of 2500 = 400, C = 18% of 2500 = 450, D = 30% of 2500 = 750.
Males in each club (base 1200): B = 15% of 1200 = 180, C = 35% of 1200 = 420.
Females in B = 400 − 180 = 220. Females in C = 450 − 420 = 30. Females in B and C together = 220 + 30 = 250.
Required percentage = (females in B and C) ÷ (people in D) × 100 = 250 ÷ 750 × 100 = 33.33%.
Cross-check
Total females overall = 2500 − 1200 = 1300; the female counts across the five clubs (360 + 220 + 30 + 606 + 84) sum to 1300, confirming the per-club female figures are consistent. Also 250 ÷ 750 = 1/3 exactly, which is 33.33% — matching the computed value.
