Back to paper

The table given below shows the number of students who were absent and percentage of students who were present in the given two examinations from five different schools. The table also shows the percentage of students who were present in the Biology and Physics examination respectively.

School Absent(in %) Present(in %) Biology(in %) Physics(in%)
K 83300 65 32 68
L 101520 60 29 71
M 113520 40 30 70
N 60830 65 42 58
O 24003 55 25 75

 

If the number of students who were present in the Physics examination from school A is 250% of the difference of the number of the students who were present in Physics and Biology examination, from school K, then what is the ratio of the number of students who were present from school L to number of students who were present in Physics examination from school A?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. 1692 : 1547

No. of students present in the physics examination from school A

=250/100[83300 × 65/35 × (68-32)/100]

=139230

No. of students present from school L = 101520 × 60/40 = 152280

Ratio = 15280/139230 = 1692/1547
