Correct Answer :

Option D

12.5%

Solution :

The correct option is 12.5%.


Let's analyze the data provided in the pie charts:


1. Data from Pie Charts:

Total Students across all five schools = 5000
Total Boys across all five schools = 2800


2. Calculate students, boys, and girls in School A:

Percentage of total students in School A = 24%

Total students in School A = 24 %  of  5000 = 24 100 × 5000 = 1200


Percentage of total boys in School A = 22%

Total boys in School A = 22 %  of  2800 = 22 100 × 2800 = 616


3. Calculate total failed students and failed boys in School A:

Given that 7% of total students in School A failed the exam:

Total failed students in School A = 7 %  of  1200 = 7 100 × 1200 = 84


Given that 2311% = 2511% of total boys in School A failed the exam:

Failed boys in School A = 25 11 %  of  616 = 25 11 × 100 × 616 = 1 44 × 616 = 14


4. Calculate failed girls in School A:

Failed girls in School A = Total failed students - Failed boys = 84 - 14 = 70


5. Calculate total girls in School C:

Percentage of total students in School C = 28%

Total students in School C = 28 %  of  5000 = 28 100 × 5000 = 1400


Percentage of total boys in School C = 30%

Total boys in School C = 30 %  of  2800 = 30 <100 × 2800 = 840


Total girls in School C = Total students in School C - Total boys in School C = 1400 - 840 = 560


6. Required Percentage Calculation:

We need to find what percent the failed girls in School A (70) are of the total girls in School C (560):

Required Percentage = ( 70 560 ) × 100 = 1 8 × 100 = 12.5 %


Hence, the girls in school A who failed the exam are 12.5% of the total girls in school C.
