Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
First, identify the marks obtained by student C in 2023 and 2025 from the table. In 2023, student C scored 65 marks. In 2025, student C scored 73 marks.
Next, calculate the increase in marks: 73 - 65 = 8.
Finally, calculate the percentage increase using the formula: (Increase / Original Marks) * 100.
Percentage Increase = (8 / 65) * 100 ≈ 12.3%.
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the approximate percentage increase is 12%.
