A) 26%

B) 30%

C) 20%

D) 16%

E) 10%

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Percent increase in semester fees of B.Ed in the year 2007, as compared to 2006 

= $\left\{\frac{(13.9 - 11.6)}{11.6}\times100\right\}$%

= $\left(\frac{2.3}{11.6}\times100\right)$%

= $\frac{2300}{116}$% 

= $\frac{575}{29}$% = 19.8% = 20% (nearly).
