5. What is the ratio of candidates passed to the candidates enrolled from institute P?

Answer

1. ANSWER : C

Explanation - Required percentage= $\frac{9 % o f 5700}{8 % o f 8550} \times 100$ % = $\frac{9 \times 5700}{8 \times 8550} \times 100$ % = 75%

2. ANSWER : B

Explanation - The percentage of candidates passed to candidates enrolled can be determined for each institute as under:

P = $\frac{18 % o f 5700}{22 % o f 8550} \times 100$ % = 54.55%

Q = $\frac{17 % o f 5700}{15 % o f 8550} \times 100$ % = 75.56%

R = $\frac{13 % o f 5700}{10 % o f 8550} \times 100$ % = 86.67%

S = $\frac{16 % o f 5700}{17 % o f 8550} \times 100$ % = 62.75%

T = $\frac{9 % o f 5700}{8 % o f 8550} \times 100$ % = 75%

V= $\frac{15 % o f 5700}{12 % o f 8550} \times 100$ % = 83.33%

X= $\frac{12 % o f 5700}{16 % o f 8550} \times 100$ % = 50%

Highest of these is 86.67% corresponding to institute R.

3. ANSWER : C

Explanation - Required difference = [(16% + 18%) of 5700] - [(8% + 10%) of 8550]

= [(34% of 5700) - (18% of 8550)]

= (1938 - 1539)

= 399

4. ANSWER : B

Explanation - Candidates passed from institutes Q and R together = [(13% + 17%) of 5700] = 30% of 57000.

Candidates enrolled from institutes Q and R together = [(15% + 10%) of 8550] = 25% of 8550.

Required Percentage = $\frac{30 % o f 5700}{25 % o f 8550} \times 100$ % = 80%

5. ANSWER : C

Explanation - Required ratio = $\frac{18 % o f 5700}{22 % o f 8550}$ = 6/11
