Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
First, calculate the number of girls who failed. In 2023, 42% passed, so 58% failed. Number of girls failed = 850 * 0.58 = 493.
Next, calculate the number of boys who failed. In 2023, 80% failed. Number of boys failed = 1250 * 0.80 = 1000.
Finally, calculate the percentage difference: ((1000 - 493) / 493) * 100 = approximately 102.84%.
