• B. O
• C. R
• D. Q

Answer 1

The correct option is B O

$\text{Institute N:}\frac{\text{No. of candidates who passed}}{\text{No. of candidatess who enrolled}}\times 100=\frac{\frac{17}{100}\times 11400}{\frac{15}{100}\times 17100}\times 100=75.56\%$
$\text{Institute O:}\frac{\text{No. of candidates who passed}}{\text{No. of candidatess who enrolled}}\times 100=\frac{\frac{13}{100}\times 11400}{\frac{10}{100}\times 17100}\times 100=86.67\%$
$\text{Institute R:}\frac{\text{No. of candidates who passed}}{\text{No. of candidatess who enrolled}}\times 100=\frac{\frac{15}{100}\times 11400}{\frac{12}{100}\times 17100}\times 100=83.33\%$
$\text{Institute Q:}\frac{\text{No. of candidates who passed}}{\text{No. of candidatess who enrolled}}\times 100=\frac{\frac{9}{100}\times 11400}{\frac{8}{100}\times 17100}\times 100=75\%$
