Number of students from various schools playing various games
| Games | Schools | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | B | C | D | |
| Cricket | 150 | 200 | 100 | 175 |
| Hockey | 125 | 175 | 150 | 225 |
| Tennis | 250 | 100 | 125 | 150 |
| Badminton | 130 | 120 | 75 | 55 |
The number of students playing hockey from school A is approximately what percentage of the number of students playing badminton from school B?
Answer: A
The required percentage is about 104 per cent. Hockey players from school A number 125 and badminton players from school B number 120. 125/120 x 100 = 104.17, which is approximately 104 per cent. 96 per cent is the inverse ratio 120/125, and 98 and 102 per cent do not come from these two entries. The question compares two different cells of the table: hockey players in school A (125) and badminton players in school B (120). The ratio 125/120 is 25/24, which is about 1.0417, i.e. 104.17 per cent.
