Q93
ArithmeticPercentage, Profit & Loss
The ratio of the number of boys and girls is 3:2. If 20% of the boys and 30% of the girls are scholarship holders, then the percentage of students who do not get scholarship is
- a.50
- b.72
- c.75
- d.76
Answer: (D) 76
Out of 100 students, 60 are boys and 40 girls; 20% of 60 = 12 and 30% of 40 = 12 hold scholarships. So 24% get scholarships and 76% do not. 75% comes from simply averaging 20% and 30%.
