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 either “belongs to section B and got first grade” or “belongs to section D and got third grade”? 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.
Calculation:
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
⇒ 22/200 × 100
⇒ 11
∴ The chances are 11%.
