What is the percentage of students who got distinction in at least two subjects?

• A. $28\%$
• B. $18.6\%$
• C. $10\%$
• D. $15\%$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$10\%$

Person who got distinction in at least two subjects = Person who got distinction in two subjects + Person who got distinction in three subjects

Person who got distinction in at least two subjects$=12+11+13+15$ $=51$

percentage of students who got distinction in at least two subjects are $\frac{51}{500}$$\times 100$ $=10.2$

Thus 10.2 percent students got distinction in at least two subjects.

Hence, Option C is correct.
