Question

Which section has the maximum pass percentage in at least one of the two examinations?

• A. A Section
• B. B Section
• C. C Section
• D. D Section

Answer 1

The correct option is D D Section

Pass percentages in at least one of the two examination for different sections are:
For Section A $[\frac{(14+6+64)}{(28+14+6+64)}\times 100]$% $=[\frac{84}{112}\times 100]$% $=75$%.
For Section B $[\frac{(12+17+55)}{(23+12+17+55)}\times 100]$% $=[\frac{84}{107}\times 100]$% $=78.5$%.
For Section C $[\frac{(8+9+46)}{(17+8+9+46)}\times 100]$% $=[\frac{63}{80}\times 100]$% $=78.75$%.
For Section D $[\frac{(13+15+76)}{(27+13+15+76)}\times 100]$% $=[\frac{104}{131}\times 100]$% $=79.39$%.
Clearly, the pass percentage is maximum for Section D.
