Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
From the table for 2018, percentage of girls who passed is 32% and percentage of boys who failed is 40%. Therefore, the percentage of boys who passed is 100% - 40% = 60%. The percentage difference between boys who passed (60%) and girls who passed (32%) is 60% - 32% = 28%. The total number of boys (600) is not needed for this calculation.
