the total number of students passed from school Q in 2014 and 2018 is what percent less than the total number of students appeared from schools R and S in 2017?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 30%

The total number of students passed from school Q in 2014 and 2018 = 240 + 320 = 560.

The total number of students appeared from schools R and S in 2017 = 420 + 380 = 800.

% less = (800 - 560)/800 × 100 = 30%
