Answer d) 8099
Required number = (17% of 27300) + (14% of 24700)
= 4641 + 3458
= 8099.

2) What is the ratio between the number of students studying at post-graduate and graduate levels respectively from institute S?
a) 14 : 19
b) 19 : 21

Answer d) 19 : 14
Required ratio = (21% of 24700)/(14% of 27300) = (21 x 24700)/14 x 27300= 19/14.

3) How many students of institutes of M and S are studying at graduate level?

Answer b) 1997 and 1998
The differences between the percentages of candidates qualified to appeared for the give pairs of years are:
For 1994 and 1995 = 50 – 30 = 20.
For 1998 and 1999 = 80 – 80 = 0.
For 1994 and 1997 = 50 – 30 = 20.
For 1997 and 1998 = 80 – 50 = 30.
For 1999 and 2000 = 80 – 60 = 20.
Thus, the maximum difference is between the years 1997 and 1998.

7) In which pair of years was the number of candidates qualified, the same?
a) 1995 and 1997
b) 1995 and 2000

b) 28500
c) 26500
d) 25000

Answer c) 26500
The number of candidates appeared in 1998 be x.
Then, 80% of x = 21200 => x = 21200 x 100 / 80 = 26500 (required number).

9) If the total number of candidates appeared in 1996 and 1997 together was 47400, then the total number of candidates qualified in these two years together was?
a) 34700

10) The total number of candidates qualified in 1999 and 2000 together was 33500 and the number of candidates appeared in 1999 was 26500. What was the number of candidates in 2000?
a) 24500
b) 22000
c) 20500
d) 19000

Click to View Answer

Answer c) 20500
The number of candidates qualified in 1999 = (80% of 26500) = 21200.
Therefore Number of candidates qualified in 2000 = (33500 – 21200) = 12300.
Let the number of candidates appeared in 2000 be x.
Then, 60% of x = 12300 => x = ( 12300 x 100 ) / 60 = 20500.
