Answer 1

The correct option is B 11030

Number of students who opted for a job in Kolkata over the three years 2005, 2007, and 2009

$=20000\times \left(.725\right)\times \left(.8\right)\times \left(.25\right)+24000\times \left(.75\right)\times \left(.9\right)\times \left(.25\right)+30000\times \left(.8\right)\times \left(.85\right)\times \left(.225\right)=2900+4050+4080=11030$

Hence, option B is correct.
