  1. What was the approximate percentage increase in the number of students of Engineering from year 2008 to 2009?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    In 2008, number of students in Engineering = Total Student x 18%
    In 2009, number of students in Engineering = Total Student x 19%
    Required percentage = (number of students in Engineering in 2009 - number of students in Engineering 2008) x 100 / number of students in Engineering in 2008

    Correct Option: C

    In 2008, number of students in Engineering = Total Student x 18%
    In 2008, the number of students in Engineering = 35000x18/100 = 6300
    In 2009, number of students in Engineering = Total Student x 19%
    In 2009, the number of student in Engineering =40000 x19/100 = 7600
    Required percentage = (number of students in Engineering in 2009 - number of students in Engineering 2008) x 100 / number of students in Engineering in 2008
    Required percentage = (7600 - 3600)x 100 /6300 = 1300/63 = 20.6 ≈ 20%
