      and the rest male. In 2023, the number of females rose by 25%, while the number of males dropped by 20%. Find the percentage change in the total number of students in 2023 compared to 2022.

      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Number of females in 2022 = 5200 ร— 0.60 = 3120

      Number of males in 2022 = 5200 - 3120 = 2080

      Number of females in 2023 = 3120 ร— (5/4) = 3900

      Number of males in 2023 = 2080 ร— 0.80 = 1664

      Total number of students in 2023 = 3900 + 1664 = 5564

      So, percentage change in total number of students = {(5564 - 5200) / 5200} ร— 100 = 7%
