The table shows the percentage distribution of children in five villages (V1 to V5) and the percentage attending school. Total children = 5800; total attending school = 3600.
| Village | Children (%) | Attending School (%) |
|---|---|---|
| V1 | 16 | 15 |
| V2 | 24 | 28 |
| V3 | 11 | 14 |
| V4 | 18 | 21 |
| V5 | 31 | 22 |
What is the total number of children who do not attend school from villages V2 and V3 together?
A528
B508
C518 ✓ Correct
D628
Correct answer: (C) 518
Explanation
The number is 518, so the answer is 518.
Children in V2 and V3 are 24% plus 11% of 5800, which is 35% of 5800, giving 2030.
Children attending school from V2 and V3 are 28% plus 14% of 3600, which is 42% of 3600, giving 1512.
Children not attending school are the total minus the school-going count.
So it is 2030 minus 1512.
This equals 518.
The two village percentages are added within each column before applying the respective totals.
