hello Sangeeta,
Let me give a try
Formula is Recall = Number of relevant result retrieve / Number of non-retrieve document + Number of relevant result retrieve
so, Number of relevant result retrieve=10,
Number of non-retrieve documents=20 (50-30=20)
Recall=10/20+10
=10/30
= 0.33
=0.33*100=33% (i.e. 33/100=0.33)
This is wat i think according to the formula, if it is wrong let me know.

Sori, the last line " =0.33*100=33% (i.e. 33/100=0.33)" should be =0.33 =33% (i.e. 33/100=0.33).

Very Good Question asked, with regards to upcoming pattern of the UGC NET June 2012. Recall percentage is the percentage of documents retrieved which were of actually requested or relevant documents with reference to the query.
To find out the Recall % = Total no. of relevant documents delivered / Total no. of documents deliverd * 100
i:e 10/30*100 = 33.33 %
When searching in google we don't know the total relevant documents uploaded on the net ..... so the recall % is found out by this formula only.

According to me: Recall is intersection of relevant documents and retrieved documents divided by relevant documents in the system:
thus the intersection gives only 10 out of 50 relevant documents. 1/5*100
Which is 20%. To get 33%, the question should say 30 relevant documents from a total collection.
- formula taken from wikipedia.
