Question : 131 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

The discipline which has the highest number of boys studying in it, is

Solution:

Number of boys in :

(A) : Management =

\left( \frac{10}{100} \times 5000 \right) - \left( \frac{8}{100} \times 2000 \right)

= 500 − 160 = 340

(B) : Arts =

\left( \frac{14}{100} \times 5000 \right) - \left( \frac{14}{100} \times 2000 \right)

\frac{14}{100} \times 3000 = 420

\left( \frac{21}{100} \times 5000 \right) - \left( \frac{24}{100} \times 2000 \right)

=1050 − 480 = 570

(D) : Science =

\left( \frac{37}{100} \times 5000 \right) - \left( \frac{32}{100} \times 2000 \right)

= 1850 - 640 = 1210 [MAX]
