The number of girls of school B who scored between 90-95% marks is approximately what percent of the number of girls of school D who scored 95% and above marks?

A28.57 ✓ Correct
B22.46
C29.95
D32.46
Correct answer: (A) 28.57
Explanation

Girls of B in the 90-95% band are about 28.57 percent of girls of D in the 95%-and-above band.

Girls of B scoring 90-95% are 6 percent of 10000 times 1 over 5, that is 120.

Girls of D scoring 95% and above are 8 percent of 6000 times 7 over 8, that is 420.

The required percentage is 120 divided by 420 times 100.

This works out to about 28.57 percent.

So the B girls are roughly 28.57 percent of the D girls.
