$C$ | $30 \%$ | $20 \%$ | $10 \%$ | $20 \%$ | $20 \%$ |
$D$ | $25 \%$ | $25 \%$ | $10 \%$ | $30 \%$ | $10 \%$ |

$2: 3$ | $3: 2$ | $1: 2$ | $2: 1$ | $1: 1$ |
Total students distribution among four colleges A, B, C and D is $2: 3: 3: 2$

Show Answer
Correct Answer: 23.(1)
Solution: (1) Total number of students in the college $D$
$=\left(\frac{800}{2}\right) \times 2=800$
$\therefore$ Number of students in History and Commerce
$=800 \times(30 \%+10 \%)$
$=\frac{800 \times 40}{100}=320$
