Accepted Answer

Step 1: From the pie charts the number of male students from country E in 2014 is 1425.

Step 2: Male students from E in 2015 = 20% more than 2014, so

$	ext{male}_{2015}=1.2	imes1425=1710$.

Step 3: Given these males are 60% of total students from E in 2015, total students from E in 2015 =

$\dfrac{1710}{0.6}=2850$.

Step 4: Female students from E in 2015 = total − males =

$2850-1710=1140$.

Therefore the required number is 1140, which is option (4).
