What is the percentage increase in the number of students who participated in the GK Olympiad to those who participated in the Science Olympiad from all colleges? (Correct to two decimals places.)

Options:

29.37%

29.89%

29.74%

29.01%

Correct Answer:

29.37%

Explanation:

Students participated in GK olympiad = 182 + 200 + 120 + 130 + 183 = 815

Students participated in Science olympiad = 100 + 100 + 150 + 200 + 80

= 630

Required percentage =  \(\frac{815 - 630}{630}\) × 100

=  \(\frac{185}{630}\) × 100

= 29.37%   (Correct to two decimals places.)
