Directions: Study the given table and answer the question that follows. The table shows the number of students appeared and qualified (in thousands) district-wise in the EMCET examination in a state. Year A B C D E F App/Qual App/Qual App/Qual App/Qual App/Qual App/Qual 2014 40/21 50/35 60/29 50/37 45/22 48/32 2015 50/26 60/38 60/42 40/26 35/22 45/19 2016 55/42 35/22 48/26 50/30 55/27 60/19 The total percentage of students who qualified in the year 2016 (correct up to two decimals) is:

First, find the total number of students who qualified in 2016 by adding the qualified column: 42 + 22 + 26 + 30 + 27 + 19 = 166 thousand. Next, find the total number of students who appeared in 2016: 55 + 35 + 48 + 50 + 55 + 60 = 303 thousand. Using the percentage formula (Part / Whole) * 100, the percentage is (166 / 303) * 100 = 54.788%, which rounds to 54.79%.
