The given table shows the percentage of students passing out of college M over five years.

What is the percentage increase in the number of students passing out of college M in the year 2022 as compared to the previous year?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 15%.

According to the given table,

Number of students passing out of college M in 2021 = 80

Number of students passing out of college M in 2022 = 92

Increase in number of students from 2021 to 2022 = 92 - 80

⇒ 12

Percentage increase = ${12 \over 80} \times 100$ = 15%

Hence the percentage increase in the number of students passing out of college M in the year 2022 as compared to the previous year is 15%.
