Question 10.
In a Class A of 25 students, 20 passed in first class; in another class B of 30 students, 24 passed in first class. In which class was a greater fraction of students getting first class?
Solution:
In class A, 20 passed in first class out of 25.
∴ Fraction of first class passed students \(=\frac{20}{25}=\frac{4}{5}\)
In class B, 24 passed in first class out of 30.
∴ Fraction of first class passed students \(=\frac{24}{30}=\frac{4}{5}\)
Hence, both classes have same fraction of student getting first class.
