Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
Let the number of boys = 400
Let 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%
Let 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%
