Percentage of Professors teaching six different subjects in University ‘X’

Total number = 50

The total number of assitant professors teaching Economics and English together are what percent more than the total number of professors teaching these two subjects together ?

• A. 68
• B. 49
• C. 53
• D. 72
• E. 82

Answer 1

The correct option is E

82

Number of professors and assistant professors of English and Economics
= (22+10) $\%$ of 150
= 32 $\%$ of 150 = $\frac{150\times 32}{100}=48$
Number of professors of Economics and English
= (10+24)$\%$ of 50
= 34 $\%$ of 50 = $\frac{50\times 34}{100}=17$
$\therefore$ Required percentage $=\frac{31-17}{17}\times 100=82$ $\%$
