Based on the data in the table, answer the questions that follow:


College-wise details of students learning Chess, Squash and Carrom.

College  Total Number of Students learning Chess and Squash Difference between the Number Students learning Chess and Squash Percentage of Students learning Carrom
A 2100 300 30%
B 1170 30 35%
C 1260 140 40%
D 1800 400 25%


Note:

(1) Total number of students in a college = Number of Students learning Chess + Number of Students learning Squash + Number of Students learning Carrom.

(2) Every student in a college learns only one of the three games.

(3) Number of students learning Chess is more than the number of students learning Squash in each college.

Let's solve the set by creating a table:

For College A:

Number of chess players + number of squash players = 2100 .....(1)

Number of chess players - number of squash players = 300    .....(2)

Solving equations (1) and (2):

Number of chess players = 1200

number of squash players = 900

Now, for Number of carrom players, since 70% of the total students = 2100,

hence, total students = \(\frac{2100×100}{70}= 3000\).

Number of carrom players = 900.

Similarly, For College B:

Number of chess players + number of squash players = 1170 .....(3)

Number of chess players - number of squash players = 30    .....(4)

Solving equations (3) and (4):

Number of chess players = 600

number of squash players =570

Now, for Number of carrom players, since 65% of the total students = 1170,

hence, total students = \(\frac{1170×100}{65}= 1800\).

Number of carrom players = 630.

Similarly, For College C:

Number of chess players + number of squash players = 1260 .....(5)

Number of chess players - number of squash players = 140    .....(6)

Solving equations (5) and (6):

Number of chess players = 700

number of squash players = 560

Now, for Number of carrom players, since 60% of the total students = 1260,

hence, total students = \(\frac{1260×100}{60}= 2100\).

Number of carrom players = 840.

Similarly, For College D:

Number of chess players + number of squash players = 1800 .....(7)

Number of chess players - number of squash players = 400    .....(8)

Solving equations (7) and (8):

Number of chess players = 1100

number of squash players = 700

Now, for Number of carrom players, since 75% of the total students = 1800,

hence, total students = \(\frac{1800×100}{75}= 2400\).

Number of carrom players = 600.

College Number of students learning chess Number of students learning  Number of students learning carrom
A 1200 900 900
B 600 570 630
C 700 560 840
D 1100 700 600

 

Required percentage = [(1200 - 840) / 1200] × 100

⇒ 360/1200 × 100

⇒ 360/12 = 30%

Hence, the correct answer is option (4).
