 No. of girls 

 102 

 80 

 104 

 98 

  0  

 60 

The total number of girls in sections B, C and D together is what percent more than the total number of boys in sections A, B and D together?

Options:

50

76.25

65.75

80

Correct Answer:

76.25

Explanation:

20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\)

Total number of boys in A , B & D =  (\(\frac{1}{5}\) × 800 - 102 ) + (  \(\frac{18}{100}\) × 800  - 80 ) + (  \(\frac{17}{100}\) × 800 - 98 )

= 58 + 64 + 38

= 160

Total number of girls in B , C & D = 80 +  104 + 98 = 282 

Required percentage = \(\frac{282 - 160}{160}\) × 100

= \(\frac{122}{160}\) × 100

= 76.25%
