Q1: Which section has the minimum failure rate in half yearly examination?

A A Section

B B Section

C C Section

D D Section

ANS:D - D Section

Total number of failures in half-yearly exams in a section = [ (Number of students failed in both exams)        + (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in Annual exams)    ] in that section Therefore Failure rate in half-yearly exams in Section A

    = [ Number of students of Section A failed in half-yearly x 100 ] %
Total number of students in Section A
    = [ (28 + 14) x 100 ] %
(28 + 14 + 6 + 64)
    = [ 42 x 100 ] %
112
    = 37.5%. Similarly, failure rate in half-yearly exams in:
Section B [ (23 + 12) x 100 ] % = [ 35 x 100 ] % = 32.71%.
(23 + 12 + 17 + 55) 107
Section C [ (17 + 8) x 100 ] % = [ 25 x 100 ] % = 31.25%.
(17 + 8 + 9 + 46) 80
Section D [ (27 + 13) x 100 ] % = [ 40 x 100 ] % = 30.53%.
(27 + 13 + 15 + 76) 131
Clearly, the failure rate is minimum for Section D.
