Let's break down the problem to find the difference in the number of male sportspersons from Country E compared to the number of female sportspersons from Country C, based on the provided data for Asian Games participants.

Understanding the Asian Games Sportspersons Data

We are given the total number of sportspersons participating in the Asian Games and their male-to-female ratio. We also have a table showing the percentage distribution of the total sportspersons and the male sportspersons across six countries A through F.

Total number of sportspersons = 1100

Ratio of Male to Female sportspersons = 15 : 7

Calculate Total Male and Female Sportspersons

First, we need to find the total number of male and female sportspersons out of the 1100 participants.

The ratio of Male to Female is 15:7. The total parts in the ratio are $15 + 7 = 22$.

• Total Male Sportspersons = $\frac{\text{Male Ratio}}{\text{Total Ratio Parts}} \times \text{Total Sportspersons}$
• Total Male Sportspersons = $\frac{15}{22} \times 1100 = 15 \times 50 = 750$

• Total Female Sportspersons = $\frac{\text{Female Ratio}}{\text{Total Ratio Parts}} \times \text{Total Sportspersons}$
• Total Female Sportspersons = $\frac{7}{22} \times 1100 = 7 \times 50 = 350$

So, there are 750 male sportspersons and 350 female sportspersons in total.

Calculate Male Participants from Country E

The table shows that 10% of the total male sportspersons are from Country E.

• Number of male participants from Country E = 10% of Total Male Sportspersons
• Number of male participants from Country E = $0.10 \times 750 = 75$

Calculate Female Participants from Country C

To find the number of female participants from Country C, we first need the total sportspersons from Country C and the male sportspersons from Country C.

• Total sportspersons from Country C = 15% of Total Sportspersons
• Total sportspersons from Country C = $0.15 \times 1100 = 165$

The table shows that 14% of the total male sportspersons are from Country C.

• Male sportspersons from Country C = 14% of Total Male Sportspersons
• Male sportspersons from Country C = $0.14 \times 750 = 105$

Now, we can find the female sportspersons from Country C:

• Female sportspersons from Country C = Total sportspersons from Country C - Male sportspersons from Country C
• Female sportspersons from Country C = $165 - 105 = 60$

Calculate Percentage Difference

We need to find out by what percentage the number of male participants from Country E is more than the number of female participants from Country C.

• Number of male participants from Country E = 75
• Number of female participants from Country C = 60

Difference = Male from E - Female from C = $75 - 60 = 15$

Percentage more = $\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Female from Country C}} \times 100$

Percentage more = $\frac{15}{60} \times 100 = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25\%$

So, the number of male participants from Country E is 25% more than the number of female participants from Country C.

Additional Information: Data Interpretation Tips

Data interpretation questions often require careful reading of the tables and understanding the base values for percentages. In this case, the percentage for 'Distribution (%) Sportspersons' is based on the Total Sportspersons (1100), while the percentage for 'Distribution (%) Male Sportspersons' is based on the Total Male Sportspersons (750). It's crucial not to confuse these base values.

• Always identify the total base value first (e.g., total sportspersons).
• Calculate derived totals (e.g., total male/female) if a ratio is given.
• Understand what each percentage in the table refers to (e.g., percentage of total, percentage of male total).
• Break down complex calculations into smaller, manageable steps.
• Double-check your calculations to avoid errors.
