Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
To solve this problem, we analyze the data provided for City-F in the Commerce stream.
The table indicates that the ratio of Males to Females is 16:11. This means for every 16 male students, there are 11 female students.
The question asks by what percentage the number of males is more than the number of females.
The formula for this calculation is [(Difference in Ratio Parts) / (Female Ratio Part)] × 100.
First, find the difference between male and female parts: 16 - 11 = 5.
Next, divide this difference by the female part (since we are comparing 'more than females'): 5 / 11.
Finally, multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (5 / 11) × 100 = 45.45%.
Therefore, the number of males is approximately 45.45% more than the females.
