• C. 2010
• D. 2011

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2011

The percentages of candidates qualified to candidates appeared from Punjab during different years are:
For 2007, $(\frac{780}{6400}\times 100)\text{\% = 12.19\%}$
For 2008, $(\frac{1020}{8800}\times 100)\text{\% = 11.59\%}$ For 2009, $(\frac{890}{7800}\times 100)\text{\% = 11.41\%}$
For 2010, $(\frac{1010}{8750}\times 100)\text{\% = 11.54\%}$
For 2011, $(\frac{1250}{9750}\times 100)\text{\% = 12.82\%}$
$\therefore$ Maximum percentage is for the year 2011.
