    Given:

    Number of students appeared and selected in the entrance exam from 5 different cities (A, B, C, D, and E) in the table.
    Formula Used:
    Selection Percentage = Number of Students Selected  Number of Students Appeared \frac{\text{Number of Students Selected }}{\text{ Number of Students Appeared}}×\times100
    Solution:

    Calculate Selection Percentage for each city:

    City A: 19002800\frac {1900}{2800}​ ×\times​ 100 = 67.86%

    City B:  18003000\frac {1800}{3000}×\times 100 = 60%

    City C: 19502800\frac {1950}{2800}​ ×\times 100 = 69.64%

    City D: 20002400\frac {2000}{2400}×\times100 = 83.33%

    City E: 17002600\frac {1700}{2600}×\times 100 = 65.38%

    Identify the city with the minimum percentage:

    City B has the lowest selection percentage at 60%.
    Option (b) is right answer.
