Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
To find the total number of girls enrolled in the Science and Commerce streams, we perform the following calculations based on the provided table:
Identify Total Girls: The total number of girls enrolled in the college is given as 1500.
Calculate Girls in Science:
The percentage of girls in Science is 11%.
Number of girls = 11% of 1500 = 0.11 × 1500 = 165.
Calculate Girls in Commerce:
The percentage of girls in Commerce is 21%.
Number of girls = 21% of 1500 = 0.21 × 1500 = 315.
Calculate Total:
Total girls (Science + Commerce) = 165 + 315 = 480.
