Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 39.3

total number of students enrolled for VC in institutes A, B and D in 2015 = 130 +138 + 122 = 390

the total number of students enrolled in institutes C and E in 2018 = 135 +145 = 280

% more =  [( 390 - 280 )/280 ] ×100

= 39.3%
