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:

Options:

10.3

11.8

10.8

11.1

Correct Answer:

11.1

Explanation:

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
