Study the given table and answer the questions that follows.
The table shows the number of students Appeared (A) and Passed (P) in a examination, from three schools X, Y and Z in five years.
The total number of students appeared from school X in 2016, 2017 and 2019 is
approximately what per cent more than the total number of students passed from
school Y in 2018 and 2020?
The total number of students that appeared from school X in 2016, 2017 and 2019 are 250+275+300 = 825
The number of students that passed from School Y in 2018 and 2020 is 254+276= 530
The difference between the two is 825-530 = 295
We need to find the percentage of this value compared to the total number of students who passed from school Y in 2018 and 2020, giving the answer to be $$\frac{295}{530}\times\ 100\approx\ 55.66\%$$
This is closest to option D, which shows a value of 55.7%
Therefore, Option D is the correct answer.
