We can calculate that 25% of 120 is 30 and 20% of 100 is 20.
Hence we have 30 male engineers and 20 female engineers. The 20% of 30 is 6 and the 25% of 20 is 5.
Therefore we have 11 total students of engineering who passed the exam out of a total number of engineering students which is 20 + 30 = 50.
So our answer is 11/50 = 0.22 (22%).
Answer is D.
