What is the percentage of students admitted to the medical stream among the total number of admissions across the colleges?

A13

B15

C14 ✓ Correct

D16

Correct answer: (C) 14

Explanation

The answer is 14 percent.

The medical admissions total 350.

The total of all admissions is 2500.

So the medical share is 350 divided by 2500, times 100.

That equals 14 percent.

The other options do not match this value.

So the answer is 14 percent.
