| (i) P = |  |
 |
18% of 5700 |  |
x 100 | ![]](/_files/images/data-interpretation/common/15-sym-cbracket-h1.gif) |
% = | |
18 x 5700 | x 100 | |
% = 54.55%. |
| 22% of 8550 | 22 x 8550 |
| (ii) Q = | |
|
17% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 75.56%. |
| 15% of 8550 |
| (iii) R = | |
|
13% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 86.67%. |
| 10% of 8550 |
| (iv) S = | |
|
16% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 62.75%. |
| 17% of 8550 |
| (v) T = | |
|
9% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 75%. |
| 8% of 8550 |
| (vi) V = | |
|
15% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 83.33%. |
| 12% of 8550 |
| (vii) X = | |
|
12% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 50%. |
| 16% of 8550 |
Highest of these is 86.67% corresponding to institute R.
