Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 127

Total startups in Education = 1280

Successful startup in Education = 520

Total startups in Health and sports = 1050

Successful startup in Health and sports = 300

Successful startup % in education = 520/1280 × 100 = 40.625%

Requisite successful startups in Health and sports = 40.625/100 × 1050 = 427 (approximately)

The total increase in the successful startups required for health and sports = 427 - 300 = 127
