Question

Total number of candidates who qualified in the exam in the year 2004 and 2005 together from state Q was approximately what percentage of total number of candidates who qualified in the exam from all the states together in the year 2007?

• A. 61
• B. 65
• C. 79
• D. 69
• E. 74

Answer 1

The correct option is E 74

Number of candidates who qualified in 2004 and 2005 together from state Q
= (40 + 45) thousand
= 85 thousand

Total number of candidates who qualified from all states in 2007
= (45 + 30 + 40) thousand
= 115 thousand
$\therefore$ Required per cent $=\frac{85}{115}\times 100=74\%$
