Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 575.
The total number of girls in all five colleges = 2500
Percentage of girls in College C = 20%
Number of girls in College C = 20/100 × 2500 = 500
Percentage of girls in College E = 26%
Number of girls in College C = 26/100 × 2500 = 650
Total number of girls in C and E = 500 + 650 = 1150
Average = 1150/2 = 575
