The total number of students in the university in 2021 was 1,60,000; find the percentage of the students who opted for the given three subjects.

• A. 47.35%
• B. 73.45%
• C. 45.73%
• D. 43.75%

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 43.75%

From the bar graph for 2021:

• History = 35,000

• Mathematics = 15,000

• Science = 20,000

  Total students in these three subjects

$35{,}000 + 15{,}000 + 20{,}000 = 70{,}000$
Total students in university

1,60,000

Percentage

$\frac{70{,}000}{1,60{,}000} \times 100$
$= \frac{70}{160} \times 100$
$= 43.75\%$
Final Answer:

$\boxed{43.75\%}$
