The Midday Meal Scheme is a school meal programme of the Government of India designed to better the nutritional standing of school-age children nationwide. It was launched in 1995. This scheme has helped in improving the enrolment rate of students in primary schools at pan India level. But During initial years due to poor implementation of the scheme, few village schools didn't see any satisfactory check on dropout rate of students. In this context, consider the line chart which gives the number of students who joined and left the schools of a village 'Wani' in Maharashtra.

Explanation:

Important data noted from the given line chart:
•              In 1996: Number of students left = 250 and number of students joined = 350.
•              In 1997: Number of students left = 450 and number of students joined = 300.
•              In 1998: Number of students left = 400 and number of students joined = 450.
•              In 1999: Number of students left = 350 and number of students joined = 500.
•              In 2000: Number of students left = 450 and number of students joined = 400.
•              In 2001: Number of students left = 450 and number of students joined = 550. Therefore, the numbers of students studying in the schools (i.e., strength of the schools) in various years:
•              In 1995 = 3000 (given).
•              In 1996 = 3000 - 250 + 350 = 3100.
•              In 1997 = 3100 - 450 + 300 = 2950.
•              In 1998 = 2950 - 400 + 450 = 3000.
•              In 1999 = 3000 - 350 + 500 = 3150.
•              In 2000 = 3150 - 450 + 400 = 3100.
•              In 2001 = 3100 - 450 + 550 = 3200.
The numbers of students studying in the schools in 1998 is 3000 and in 2001 is 3200. Required percentage = ((3000/3200) x 100 ) % = 93.75%. Hence, option is (b) is correct answer.
