Correct Answer: Both classes have equal percentage of students getting first class
Explanation:
For class X, let the students passed in first class = a%
Then, by condition given in question
a% of 30 = 24
? (a x 30) /100 = 24
? a = 80%
Now, for class Y let the student passed in first class = b%
Then, according to the question,
b% of 35 = 28
? (b x 35)/100 = 28
? b = (28 x 100)/35 = 80%
Hence, both classes have equal percentage of student getting first class.
Correct Answer: 75% of 320
Explanation:

From option (a), 23% of 600
= 600 x 23/100 = 138
From option (b), 46 % of 207
= 207 x 46/100 = 95.22
From option (c), 98% of 250
= 250 x 98/100 = 245
From option (d), 75% of 320

? N x (76/100) = 350 + 296
? N x (76/100) = 646
? N = (646 x 100)/7
? N = 8.5 x 100 = 850
? N = 850
Correct Answer: 854
