B and D together is what percentage more than the total number of girls in sections A, B and D together? Correct Answer 20%
| ections | Number of students | Number of boys | Number of girls |
| A | 60 | 36 | 24 |
| B | 54 | 26 | 28 |
| C | 57 | 34 | 23 |
| D | 51 | 28 | 23 |
| E | 42 | - | 42 |
| F | 36 | 20 | 16 |
Total number of boys in sections A, B and D = 36 + 26 + 28
⇒ 90
Total number of girls in sections A, B and D = 24 + 28 + 23
⇒ 75
Required percentage = (15/75) × 100
⇒ 20%
∴The total number of boys in sections A, B and D together is 20% more than the total number of girls in sections A, B and D together.
