Solution:

Out of 600 students of a school, 126 go for a picnic. The percentage of students that did not go for the picnic is 75.

We have to determine if the given statement is true or false.

Total number of students = 600

Number of students gone for picnic = 126

Number of students who didn't go for picnic = 600 - 126

= 474

Percentage of students who did not go for the picnic = number of students who did not go for picnic/total number of students × 100

= 474/600 × 100

= 474/6

= 79%

Therefore, the percentage of students that did not go for the picnic is 79.
