The ratio of boys and girls in a college is 5:6.if 25% of boys and 25%of girls are scholarship holders.then what percentage of students does not get the scholarship?
Option
a) 89%
b) 78%
c) 85%
d) 65%

• Ratio of boys : girls => 5x : 6x
  Total no. of students including boys nd girls = 5x+6x = 11x
  
  25% of boys => 5x*25/100 = 5x/4
  25% of girls => 6x*25/100 =3x/2
  No. of students getting scholorship => 5x/4 + 3x/2 = 11x/4
  No. of students does not get the scholorship = 11x - 11x/4 = 33x/4
  
  % of students not getting scolorship => 33x/4/11x * 100
  => 100*33x/44x
  = 75%
  
  Ans : 75%

• number of boys and gals =5x n 6x
  no. of student doesnt get shlship=((75/100)*5x)+((75/100)*6x)=33x/4
  %=(33x/4)*(1/11x)*100=75%
  **wich is nt in the option ormay be options wich r given is nt correct **

• ratio of boys and girls= 5x : 6x
  so, the total no of students = 5x+6x= 11x
  now assume the percentage of no of boys and girls as 100
  given 25% of boys have scholarship that means ( in 100 only 25% of boys have scholarship and the remaining 75% do not have the same logic is applied for girls also)
  boys( who do not have scholarship) --> 75/100 *5x = 15x/4
  girls ( who do not have scholarship) --> 75/100 * 6x= 18x/4
  
  total no of students who do not have scholarship = 15x/4 + 18x/4 =33x/4
  
  finally percentage of students who do not have scholarship is
  
  33x/4/11x * 100 ---> 33x/4 * 1/11x * 100 = 75%

• 75% but it is not given in the options
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• 75% is the ans
• 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
• Let the no of girls=5x
  no of boys =6x
  total strength=5x+6x=11x
  Girls who get scholarship=25%
  who do not get scholarship=100-25=75%
  75%(5x)=75*5x/100=15x/4
  percentage of boys who don't get scholarship =75%
  75%(6x)= 75*6x/100=18x/4
  total no of boys and girls those who don't scholarship=33x/4
  in terms of percentages=33x/4/11x8*100=75%

• ans=78%
  solution=100((5x*0.75)+(6x*0.8))/11x=77.7%=78%
