Direction: These questions are based on the following graphs : Classification of appeared candidates in a competitive test from different States and qualified candidates from those States.
Appeared candidates = 45000.
Qualified candidates = 9000.

What is the percentage of qualified candidates with respect to appeared candidates from States B and C taken together? (rounded to two decimal places)

1. 23.11
2. 24.21
3. 21.24
4. 23
5. None of these

Correct Option: B

Given :- Appeared candidates = 45000 and Qualified candidates = 9000
percent of qualified candidates from States B = 16%
percent of qualified candidates from States C = 7%
Total percent of qualified candidates from States B and C = (16 + 7)% = 23%
And percent of appeared candidates from States B = 11%
percent of appeared candidates from States C = 8%
Total percent of appeared candidates from States B and C = (11 + 8)% = 19%

Required % =	Total percent of qualified candidates from States B and C taken together in out of 9000	x 100%
	Total percent of appeared candidates from States B and C taken together in out of 45000

=	23% of 9000	x 100%

	19% of 45000

=	2070	x 100 = 24.21 %

	8550
