The correct answer is

40%

February Recovery Statistics

This question requires comparing the number of Covid-19 patients who recovered in Punjab versus Uttar Pradesh during February 2021, based on the provided table. We need to find the approximate percentage difference.

Month Rajasthan Madhya Pradesh Uttar Pradesh Punjab
February 200 270 290 175
March 220 120 250 275
April 150 190 240 225
May 130 220 220 125

Recovery Data Extraction

To solve this, we first identify the specific data points relevant to the question from the table:

  • Number of patients recovered in Uttar Pradesh (UP) in February 2021 = 290.
  • Number of patients recovered in Punjab (PB) in February 2021 = 175.

Recovery Difference Calculation

Next, we calculate the absolute difference between the recovery numbers for Uttar Pradesh and Punjab in February 2021.

The formula used is: Difference = Recovery in UP - Recovery in PB

Calculation: Difference = $290 - 175 = 115$

Percentage Variance Determination

The question asks how much Punjab's recovery is less than Uttar Pradesh's. To find this, we calculate the difference as a percentage of Uttar Pradesh's recovery figure.

The formula for percentage difference is: Percentage Difference = $\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Recovery in Uttar Pradesh}} \times 100$

Substituting the values:

Percentage Difference = $\frac{115}{290} \times 100$

Percentage Difference = $0.39655... \times 100 \approx 39.66\%$

This calculation shows that the number of patients recovered in Punjab is approximately 39.66% less than in Uttar Pradesh during February 2021.

Approximate Percentage Selection

We now compare the calculated percentage difference (39.66%) with the given options:

  • 35%
  • 40%
  • 45%
  • 50%
  • 55%

The value 39.66% is closest to 40%. Therefore, the number of patients recovered in Punjab is approximately 40% less than in Uttar Pradesh.

Final Recovery Percentage Conclusion

Based on the analysis of the February 2021 data, the number of Covid-19 recoveries in Punjab is approximately 40% less than that in Uttar Pradesh.
