B. 28%
C. 75%
D. 26%
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the number of boys = 400Let the number of girls = 100
Total number of students who do not get scholarship
= 400 × $$\frac{25}{100}$$ + 100 × $$\frac{30}{100}$$
= 100 + 30
= 130
Required percentage
= $$\frac{130}{500}$$ × 100
= 26%
