The ratio of the number of boys and girls in a school is 3 : 2. If 20% of the boys and 25% of the girls are scholarship holders, the percentage of the school students who are not scholarship holders is
-
- 56
- 78
- 70
- 80
Correct Option: B
Let the number of students in school be 100.
Boys ⇒ 60
Girls ⇒ 40
Students who do not hold scholarship :
Boys ⇒ | = 48 | 100 |
Girls ⇒ | = 30 | 100 |
Required answer = 48 + 30 = 78
∴ Required percentage = | × 100 = 78% | |
100 |
