Grades Sections First Second Third A 12 18 25 B 10 23 17 C 8 22 15 D 14 24 12 If a student of class tenth of the school is randomly selected, what are the chances that he belongs to section B and obtained First grade? Correct Answer 5%
Given:
Total students in section B are 50.
Calculation:
There are total 4 sections,
Chance of getting section B from all 4 sections is 1/4.
Total number of students in section B,
⇒ 10 + 23 + 17 = 50
In which 10 students obtained first grade
Chances of picking those 10 students out of 50 students is,
⇒ 10/50 = 1/5
Overall chances in percent,
⇒ 1/4 × 1/5 × 100
⇒ 5 %
∴ Option 2 is correct.
