A) 38

B) 28

C) 42

D) 32

E) 48

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

 Number of students opting Mathematics in 2005 and 2008

= (15000 + 30000) = 45000.

Number of students opting for these three subjects in 2005 and 2008

=[(5+35+15) + (25 + 30 + 30)] thousands = (55000 + 85000) = 140000.

Required percentage = $\frac{45000}{140000}\times100$%

= 32% (nearly)
