Correct Answer: 114.3%


Solution : The number of students who obtained less than 250 marks = 30 + 45 = 75
The number of students who obtained 400 or more marks = 35
So, the required percentage = $\frac{(75 - 35)}{35}× 100$
= ($\frac{40}{35}$) × 100
= 114.3%
$\therefore$ The number of students who obtained less than 250 marks is 114.3% more than the number of students who obtained 400 or more marks.
Hence, the correct answer is 114.3%.
