MAH-CET 2026 — Reasoning PYQ

Step 1: Identify the given data points

From the problem description, we are given the individual values for three variables along with the collective total:

• Value of A = $3$

• Value of B = $5$

• Value of C = $2$

• Total sum = $10$

Step 2: Calculate the individual percentage share

To find the percentage relative to the total, we use the formula:

$$\text{Percentage }(\%)=\left(\frac{\text{Individual Value}}{\text{Total Value}}\right)\times 100$$

• Percentage of A:

  $$\%A=\frac{3}{10}\times 100=3\times 10=30\%$$

• Percentage of B:

  $$\%B=\frac{5}{10}\times 100=5\times 10=50\%$$

• Percentage of C:

  $$\%C=\frac{2}{10}\times 100=2\times 10=20\%$$

Conclusion

Comparing the calculated values:

• $A=30\%$

• $B=50\%$

• $C=20\%$

Since $50\%$ is the largest percentage share, B has the maximum percentage.

(Shortcut Note: Since the total denominator is exactly the same for all computations, the person with the largest absolute frequency value will unconditionally yield the highest percentage value: 5 > 3 > 2 \implies \text{B}.)

Correct Answer

The correct option is (b) B.
