Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Solution:

  1. Find number of rural students: rural males = 25% of 120 = 30; rural females = 20% of 100 = 20. Total rural = 30 + 20 = 50.

  2. Find number of rural students who passed: passed rural males = 20% of 30 = 6; passed rural females = 25% of 20 = 5. Total passed (rural) = 6 + 5 = 11.

  3. Compute required percentage: (11/50) * 100 = 22%.

Answer: 22%
