Question

In a school 40% of students participated in sports. If total participants in sports from the school are 120, the number of students in the school is

• A. 150
• B. 300
• C. 500

Answer 1

The correct option is B 300

Given, 40% of students from the school participated in sports.
Number of students participated in sports from the school = 120
Let, total number of students in the school = $x$

$\Rightarrow \frac{40}{100}=\frac{120}{x}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{5}=\frac{120}{x}$
$\Rightarrow x=300$
Hence, total number of students in the school are 300.
