In a horticulture experiment,-200″ seeds were planted in plot I and 300 were planted in plot II. If 57 percent of the seeds in plot I germinated and 42 percent of the seeds in plot II germinated, what percent of the total number of planted seeds was germinated?
Solution
Correct Answer: Option C
Total seeds = 200 + 300 = 500
57% of 200 = 200*57/100 = 114
and, 42% of 300 = 300*42/100 = 126
Total Germinated seeds = 126 + 114 = 240
% of germinated seeds = 240*100/500
= 48
