Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Given percentages from the pie chart:

  • Class VI = 20%

  • Class IX = 18%

  • Class X = 12%

Step 1: Find combined percentage of class VI and class IX: 20% + 18% = 38%

Step 2: Find how much more 38% is than 12% as a percentage of 12%:

  1. Difference = 38% - 12% = 26%

  2. Required percentage more = (Difference / 12%) × 100 = (26 / 12) × 100

  3. Compute: 26/12 = 2.1667, so ×100 ≈ 216.67%

Final answer: approximately 217%.
