Directions : Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Total number of candidates admitted in institution A over all the years together was approximately what percentage of the total number of candidates admitted in institution B over all the years together?

• A. 85
• B. 106
• C. 110
• D. 81
• E. 96

Answer 1

The correct option is E 96

Total number of candidates in institution A

= ( 2 + 3.5 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 6.5) thousand

= 27 thousand

= 27000

Total number of candidates in institution B

= 3.5 + 4 + 4 + 5.5 + 5 + 6

= 28 thousand

= 28000

$\therefore$ Required percentage $=\frac{27000}{28000}\times 100=96\%$
