Correct Answer 11%

Given:

Total number of students in section A is 55.

Total number of students in section B is 50.

Total number of students in section C is 45.

Total number of students in section D is 50.

Total number of students in the school is,

⇒ 55 + 50 + 45 + 50

⇒ 200

Students belong to section B and got the first grade,

⇒ 10

Students belong to section D and got the third grade,

⇒ 12

Percent of students,

⇒ (10 + 12)/200 × 100
