The relative weight of the Chemical Engineering subjects in the Licensure Examination is 40%

• A. 30%
• B. 33%
• C. 40%
• D. 50%

Answer: (C)

The main idea is how the exam score is distributed across subjects. The phrase “relative weight” tells you what portion of the total licensure exam score is allotted to Chemical Engineering subjects. If that weight is 40%, Chemical Engineering accounts for 40 out of 100 points toward the final score, with the remaining 60 points coming from other subjects. So 40% exactly reflects the statement. The other percentages would contradict the given weighting (30%, 33%, or 50% would imply different shares of the total score), and since weights should add up to 100%, the remaining subjects would need to cover the remaining 60%.
