Question

Comprehension

Direction: The following table gives the number of boys and girls studying in different streams in an Engineering college. Read the table and answer the following questions.

Stream	ME	CIVIL	C.S.	E.C.	IT	Electrical
Boys	800	1300	800	900	700	400
Girls	300	750	1300	1400	850	500

1. C.S.
2. IT
3. E.C.
4. Electrical

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : C.S.

Formula used:

Percentage = (Part value/Whole value) × 100

Calculation:

ME stream total = 800 + 300 = 1100

Percentage = (300/1100) × 100 = 27.27%

Civil stream total = 1300 + 750 = 2050

Percentage = (750/2050) × 100 = 36.58%

CS stream total = 800 + 1300 = 2100

Percentage = (1300/2100) × 100 = 61.9%

EC stream total = 900 + 1400 = 2300

Percentage = (1400/2300) × 100 = 60.8%

IT stream total = 700 + 850 = 1550

Percentage = (850/1550) × 100 = 54.8%

Electrical stream total = 400 + 500 = 900

Percentage = (500/900) × 100 = 55.55%

∴ The highest percentage is 61.9%
