The total number of students enrolled for VC in institutes B, C and E in 2015 is x% more than the total number of students enrolled in institutes A, D and F in 2016. The value of x is closest to:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Total students in B , C & E in 2015 = 180 + 220 + 200 = 600
Total students in institutes A, D and F in 2016 = 165 + 175 + 200 = 540
Required percentage ( x% ) = \(\frac{600 - 540}{540}\) × 100
= \(\frac{1}{9}\) × 100
= 11.1%
So , x = 11.1
