Q:

At the university entrance exam, a candidate is admitted according to whether he has passed or failed the test. Of the candidates who are really capable, 80 % pass the test and of the incapable, 30 % pass the test. Given that 40 % of the candidates are really capable, then the proportion of the really capable students who can pass the test to the total students who can pass is about ?

A) 11/24 B) 1/5
C) 16/25 D) 6/5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16/25

Explanation:

If there are total 100 candidates,
40 candidates are really capable and
60 candidates are incapable.
Of the candidates who are really capable = 80%
40*(80/100)=32 pass the test and
of the incapable= 30%
60*(30/100)=18 pass the test.
Total candidates who passed the test = 32+18 = 50
The proportion of the really capable students who can pass the test to the total students who can pass = 32/50 = 16/25.
