- 28%
- 75%
- 26%
Correct Option: D
Let the number of boys and girls be 4k and k respectively.
| Number of boys who hold scholarship = | × 4k = 3k | 100 |
| and number of girls who hold scholarship = | = | |||
| 100 | 10 |
| Number of students who do not hold scholarship = 5k - 3k - | = 2k - | |||
| 10 | 10 |
| Number of students who do not hold scholarship = | = | |||
| 10 | 10 |
| The required percentage | ||
| = | × 100 | |
