The given graph shows the performance of the students of schools A, B, C, D, E and F in a Board Examination. Study the graph and answer the questions that follow.
In which of the following schools is the number students who passed with distinction as a percentage of those students who failed the least?
For this part, we will also have to calculate the number of students who failed in each school.
adding that to our previous data table we get:
School Total Passed Distinction Without distinction Failed
A 800 640 300 340 160
B 1050 840 350 490 210
C 1200 920 450 470 280
D 750 600 260 340 150
E 900 750 330 420 150
F 1500 1000 450 550 500
Calculating the students who passed with distinction as a percentage of students who failed for the given options we see,
Option A: $$\frac{470}{280}\times\ 100\approx\ 170\%$$
Option B: $$\frac{420}{150}\times\ 100\approx\ 280\%$$
Option C: $$\frac{490}{210}\times\ 100\approx\ 230\%$$
Option D: $$\frac{550}{500}\times\ 100\approx\ 110\%$$
We can see that Option D or School F has the least percentage in this category.
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
