- None of these
Correct Option: D
As per given table , we can see that
Number of candidates eligible for post I in all State
A = 2500 , B = 3200 , C = 2800 , D = 2400 , E = 3000 , F = 4800 , G = 6500
Total number of candidates eligible for post I
= 100(25 + 32 + 28 + 24 + 30 + 48 + 65)
= 25200
Number of candidates shortlisted for post I in all State
A = 65 , B = 220 , C = 280 , D = 85 , E = 120 , F = 325 , G = 550
Total number of candidates shortlisted for post I
= 65 + 220 + 280 + 85 + 120 + 325 + 550
= 1645
| ∴ Percentage = | Total number of candidates shortlisted for post I | x 100 % |
| Total number of candidates eligible for post I |
| ∴ Required answer = | 1645 | x 100 = 6.52% |
| 25200 |
