The ratio of the number of boys and girls in a school is 3 : 2. If 20% of the boys and 25% of the girls are scholarship holders, then the percentage of the students who do not get the scholarship, is ?
-
- 78%
- 75 %
- 60%
- 55%
Correct Option: A
Let number of boys be 300.
Number of girls = 200
Boys holding scholarship = (20/100) x 300 = 60
Girls holding scholarship = (25/100) x 200 = 50
Total student holding scholarship = 60 + 50 = 110
∴ Percentage of students not holding scholarship = [(500 -110) / 500] x 100%
= (390/500) x 100 %
= 78%
