Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
To find the highest failure rate in the mid-semester test, we calculate the percentage of students who failed for each program. Students who failed the mid-semester test are those in the rows 'Failed in both tests' and 'Failed in mid-semester test but passed in end-semester test'.
- B.A.: Failed = 28 + 14 = 42. Total students = 28 + 14 + 6 + 64 = 112. Failure Rate = (42/112) * 100 = 37.5%.
- B.Sc.: Failed = 23 + 12 = 35. Total students = 23 + 12 + 17 + 55 = 107. Failure Rate ≈ (35/107) * 100 = 32.7%.
- B.Com.: Failed = 17 + 8 = 25. Total students = 17 + 8 + 9 + 46 = 80. Failure Rate = (25/80) * 100 = 31.25%.
- B.B.A.: Failed = 27 + 13 = 40. Total students = 27 + 13 + 15 + 76 = 131. Failure Rate ≈ (40/131) * 100 = 30.5%.
Comparing the rates, B.A. has the highest failure rate at 37.5%.
