    School

    Appeared

    Selected

    K.V.

    1000

    800

    900

    J.M.I.

    900

    750

    Formula Used:

    Selection Percentage=(SelectedAppeared)×100\text{Selection Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Selected}}{\text{Appeared}} \right) \times 100​​

    Solution:

    Calculating the selection percentage for each school:

    K.V. = (8001000)×100=80%\left( \frac{800}{1000} \right) \times 100 = 80\%​​

    D.A.V. =(10501200)×100=87.5% \left( \frac{1050}{1200} \right) \times 100 = 87.5\%​​

    H.P.S. =(13501500)×100=90% \left( \frac{1350}{1500} \right) \times 100 = 90\%​​

    D.P.S. = (9001100)×100=81.82%\left( \frac{900}{1100} \right) \times 100 = 81.82\%​​

    J.M.I. =(750900)×100=83.33%\left( \frac{750}{900} \right) \times 100 = 83.33\%​​

    The lowest selection percentage is K.V. (80%), meaning K.V. has the least number of students selected in comparison to the number of students who appeared.

    Option (B) is right.
