Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
First, calculate the total number of students enrolled in Cricket: 29% of 6000 = 1740.
Next, find the number of girls enrolled in Cricket: 20% of 3500 = 700. Subtract to find the number of boys in Cricket: 1740 - 700 = 1040.
Then, calculate the total number of students enrolled in Badminton: 14% of 6000 = 840. Finally, compute the percentage increase: ((1040 - 840) / 840) × 100 ≈ 23.81%.
