Correct Answer: 14.3%


Solution : The number of students whose height is in the class interval 170-175 = 12
The number of students whose height is in the class interval 165-170 = 14
Required percentage = $\frac{\text{Students in the class interval 165-170 – Students in the class interval 170-175}}{\text{Students in the class interval 165-170}}\times100$
= $\frac{14 - 12}{14}\times100$
= $\frac{2}{14}\times100$
= $14.3\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 14.3%.
