Question

The total number of graduates who appeared for ES in 2008 is what percent of the total number of graduates who appeared for CS in the same year?

• A. $75\%$
• B. $40\%$
• C. $55\%$
• D. $60\%$
• E. $50$

Answer 1

The correct option is E $50$

Total number of graduates who appeared for ES in 2008 $=50\%of36000=\frac{50}{100}\times 36000=18000$
Total number of graduates who appeared for CS in 2008 $=60\%of60000=\frac{60}{100}\times 60000=36000$
$\therefore$ required percentage $=\frac{18000}{36000}\times 100=50\%$
