By what percent is the total number of boys in Arts stream more than the total number of boys in Science stream in the years 2012 to 2020?

Options:

5

$4 \frac{16}{21}$

0

$\frac{18}{41}$

Correct Answer:

5

Explanation:

Total number of boys in arts stream from 2012 to 2020 = 48 + 42 + 45 + 39 + 36 = 210

Total number of boys in science stream = 40 + 42 + 38 +  41 + 39 = 200

Required percentage = \(\frac{210 - 200}{200}\) × 100

= \(\frac{10}{200}\) × 100

= 5%
