Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 54.78%.

In 2016

The number of qualified students from District A = 42

The number of qualified students from District B = 22

The number of qualified students from District C = 26

The number of qualified students from District D = 30

The number of qualified students from District E = 27

The number of qualified students from District F = 19

The total number of students who qualified for the examination in 2016 = 42 + 22 + 26 + 30 + 27 + 19 = 166

The total number of students who appeared in 2016 = 55 + 35 + 48 + 50 + 55 + 60 = 303

Required percentage = 166303\frac{166}{303} × 100 = 54.78%

Hence, the total percentage of students who qualified in the year 2016 is 54.78%.
