B22.71
C23.81 ✓ Correct
D25.91
Correct answer: (C) 23.81
Explanation
Cricket boys are about 23.81 percent more than Badminton students, so that is the answer.
Cricket students are 29 percent of 6000, which is 1740.
Cricket girls are 20 percent of 3500, which is 700, so Cricket boys are 1040.
Badminton students are 14 percent of 6000, which is 840.
So Cricket boys exceed Badminton students by 1040 minus 840, which is 200.
200 out of 840 is about 23.81 percent.
