Show Answer

Correct Answer: (4)

Solution: (4)

Number of assistant professors in university $J$ $=\frac{300 \times 72}{100}=216$

Number of professors $=(300-216)-52$ $=84-52=32$

Number of assistant professors in university $K$ $=\frac{250 \times 40}{100}=100$

Number of professors $=(250-100)-72$ $=150-72=78$

$\therefore$ Total number of professors $=32+78=110$

Number of assistant professors in university $L=96$

$\therefore$ Required per cent $=\frac{110-96}{96} \times 100=\frac{1400}{96} \approx 15$
