To find the approximate percentage increase in marks for student C from 2023 to 2025, follow these steps:
- Identify the marks for student C in the specified years from the table.
- Marks in 2023: 65
- Marks in 2025: 73

Increase = Marks in 2025 - Marks in 2023
Increase = $73 - 65 = 8$
- Calculate the percentage increase using the formula:
Percentage Increase = $ \frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original Marks (2023)}} \times 100 $
- Substitute the values:
Percentage Increase = $ \frac{8}{65} \times 100 $
- Perform the calculation:
Percentage Increase = $ 0.12307 \times 100 \approx 12.31\% $
