Calculation Steps




  1. Calculate the Number of Commerce Students in Institute B:

    From the 'Commerce' pie chart, Institute B has 17% of the total 4200 students.


    0.17 * 4200 = 714 students


  2. Calculate the Number of Arts Students in Institute B:

    From the 'Arts' pie chart, Institute B has 8% of the total 3800 students.


    0.08 * 3800 = 304 students


  3. Calculate the Total:

    Finally, we add the number of Commerce and Arts students from Institute B together.


    714 + 304 = 1018





Final Answer: The total number of students studying Arts and Commerce in Institute B is 1018.
