Question

The Ostentia University wanted to admit 30 candidates without altering its requirement standards. All candidates who qualified the JAT and GD cut-off requirements for this University, met the required academic cut-off of that University, out of which 90 % secured and accepted admission into Universities another than Ostentia. What percentage of seats went vacant in Ostentia?

• A. 5 to 10
• B. 20 to 25
• C. 26 to 30
• D. 10 to 12

Answer 1

The correct option is C 26 to 30

First find how many of the 6875 conform to Ostentia requirements of 125/60. By this standard (104 + 109) = 213 qualify. 10 % of these can appear for interview. 10 % of 213 = 21.3 which implies 21 or 22. Equivalent percentage values $\frac{(30-22)}{30}$$\times$100 = 26% to $\frac{(30-21)}{30}$$\times$100 = 30%. Hence 26% to 30%.
