Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 25
The total number of students in schools D and E = [(118.8 + 61.2)/360] × 9000
= 4500
the total number of students in schools B and C = [(64.8 + 79.2)/360] × 9000
= 3600
required percentage = [(4500 - 3600)/3600] × 100 = 25%
