Total movies submitted are 765.

As per question we need to take 1/4 of 765 to be considered for top 10 movies = 191.25

approximate the value we 192.

IMO option B is the correct answer...

OA please...will correct if I missed anything.

Why can't we take 191 as the answer? I am a bit confused between the two.

In the question, it is mentioned that "ATLEAST 1/4" that means the value has to be divisible by 4...only 192 does and the value we got is in 190s...so forget 212.
