Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 78%.
Given:
In M.Com. 450 students passed out of 500
In M.A. 1500 students passed the exam out of 2000 students
Calculations:
The total number of students in M.com and MA = 500 + 2000 = 2500
The total number of students passed in M.com and MA = 450 + 1500 = 1950
The combined pass percentage of the college = (1950/2500) × 100 = 78%
