Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Population of school = 250 + 150 = 400

60% of 250 = \(\frac{\text{60%}}{\text{100%}}\) x 250 = 150

40% of 150 = \(\frac{\text{40%}}{\text{100%}}\) x 150 = 60

Total number of students who plays football;

150 + 60 = 210

Percentage of school that play football;

\(\frac{210}{400}\) x 100% = 52.5%
