Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Option C: Orthopedics Monday = 18. Total Monday = 12+10+18+8 = 48. 18/48 = 37.5%. The statement says 'nearly 30%', which is incorrect.

AI explanation

Find the total admissions on Monday by adding the patients from all departments: 12 + 10 + 18 + 8 = 48. The percentage of Orthopedics patients on Monday is (18 / 48) * 100, which equals 37.5%. This is substantially higher than the stated 30%, making the statement incorrect.
