Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 14

Calculation:

Percentage of students in Basketball = 19%

Number of students = [(19/100) × 800] = 152

Girls = 69

Boys = 152 – 69 = 83

Difference of Boys and Girls = (83 – 69) = 14

∴ The difference between the number of boys and girls taking part in Basketball is 14.
