The results of Science and Mathematics examinations are shown in the following table
| RESULTS | No. of Students | ||||
| Section A | Section B | Section C | Section D | ||
| Failed in both | 24 | 25 | 18 | 20 | |
| Failed in Science but passed in Mathematics | 14 | 12 | 10 | 15 | |
| Passed in Science but failed in Mathematics | 7 | 6 | 8 | 10 | |
| Passed in both | 63 | 60 | 56 | 55 | |
What percentage of students of section C Passed in Science but failed in Mathematics?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 8.70%.
Calculations:
Number of students in section C = 18 + 10 + 8 + 56 = 92
Number of students in section C who passed in science but failed in mathematics = 8
Required percentage = (8/92) × 100 = 8.70%
