The number of female participants from India in event E1 is ______ % less than the number of female participants from Germany in event E3.
A40
B36 ✓ Correct
C28
D22
Correct answer: (B) 36
Explanation
The shortfall is 36 percent, so that is the answer.
India females in E1 are one-third of 480, which is 160.
Germany females in E3 are one-third of 750, which is 250.
The difference is 250 minus 160, which is 90.
As a percentage of 250 that is 90 over 250.
That equals 36 percent.
