Correct Answer: 53%


Solution : Total number of students = 25 + 30 + 40 + 45 + 60 = 200
Number of students pass in Section A  = 25 × $\frac{20}{100}$ = 5
The number of students passed in Section B = 30 × $\frac{30}{100}$ = 9
The number of students passed in Section C = 40 × $\frac{35}{100}$ = 14
The number of students passed in Section D = ​​​​45 × $\frac{40}{100}$ = 18
The number of students passed in Section E = ​​​​​60 × $\frac{100}{100}$ = 60
Total passed students count = 5 + 9 + 14 + 18 + 60 = 106
So, the pass percentage = $\frac{\text{106​ }}{\text{200}}$×100 = 53%
Hence, the correct answer is 53%.
