The table gives, for five villages V1-V5, the percentage distribution of the total children and of the children attending school. Total children in all five villages = 5800; total children attending school = 3600.
| Village | Share of total children (5800) | Share of children attending school (3600) |
|---|---|---|
| V1 | 16% | 15% |
| V2 | 24% | 28% |
| V3 | 11% | 14% |
| V4 | 18% | 21% |
| V5 | 31% | 22% |
The total number of children from villages V4 and V5 together is approximately what percentage more than the number who do not attend school from the same two villages?
A118
B124
C122
D120 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 120
Explanation
V4 plus V5 total is 1044 + 1798 = 2842; those not attending are 288 + 1006 = 1294; (2842 minus 1294) over 1294 times 100 is about 120%. Hence option D.
