Question

In a school X, $48$ students appeared for $10$th class exam out of which $36$ students passed. In another school Y, $30$ students appeared and $24$ students passed. If the District Educational Officer wants to give an award on the basis of pass percentage. To which school will be give the award?

Answer 1

We are given,

In a school x,

Passed Ratio will be

Px $=\frac{PassedStudent}{TotalStudent}$

$=\frac{36}{48}$

$Px=\frac{3}{4}$

$\Rightarrow$ In a school x, 75% student passed

In a school y,

Passed Ratio will be

Py $=\frac{PassedStudent}{TotalStudent}$

$=\frac{24}{30}$

$Py=\frac{4}{5}$

$\Rightarrow$ In a school y, 80% student passed

So, Px$<$Py

$\Rightarrow$ Y school gets the award
