Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Ans:- 3) 48

Since, In plot1 200 seeds are planted and only 57% of the seeds are germinated
hence, 57/100 * 200 = 114

Since, In plot2 300 seeds are planted and only 42% of the seeds are germinated
hence, 42/100 * 300 = 126

Therefore, total seed germinated is 114 + 126 = 240 out of 500
so 240/500 * 100 = 48%
