    C 80% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total number of boys be x.  and the total number of girls be y. The total number of books boys have = 80x The total number of books the girls have = 50y If each of the boy have read 5 books, then the remaining number of unread books = 80x – 5x = 75x The sum of the all the books = 70(x + y) = 75x + 50y 20y = 5x x : y = 4 : 1 Required % = (4/5) × 100 = 80%
