Solution:

Ans: (d) Total number of employed peoples who completed their degree in 2013 and 2015 together

  ⇒ 2500 × 1425 + 1500×715   

 ⇒ 1400 + 700 = 2100 

    Total number of entrepreneurs who completed their degree in 2014 and 2016 together

  ⇒ 1800×215+ 1430 ×111   

 ⇒ 240 + 130 = 370

    Required % = [(2100 - 370)/370 × 100 = 467.56 % = 468 % = 470 %

Total number of employed peoples who completed their degree in 2013 and 2015 together

⇒ 2500 × (14/25) + 1500×(7/15)

⇒ 1400 + 700 = 2100

Total number of entrepreneurs who completed their degree in 2014 and 2016 together

⇒ 1800×(2/15)+ 1430 ×(1/11)

⇒ 240 + 130 = 370

Required % = [(2100 - 370)/370 × 100 = 467.56 % = 468 % = 470 %
