                            Fig. (i)

(ii) Total number of candidates who passed the examination from five institutes = 3300

 

                           Fig. (ii)

 Which institute(s) has/have the highest percentage of candidates passed to the candidates enrolled?

Options:

P

S

Q and T

R

Correct Answer:

R

Explanation:

In P,

Candidates enrolled in P = \(\frac{20 }{100}\) × 5500

= 1100

Candidates passed in P = \(\frac{18 }{100}\) × 3300

= 594

Required percentage = \(\frac{594}{1100}\) × 100 = 54%

In Q,

Candidates enrolled in Q = \(\frac{30 }{100}\) × 5500

= 1815

Candidates passed in Q = \(\frac{24 }{100}\) × 3300

= 792

Required percentage = \(\frac{792}{1815}\) × 100 = 43.63%

In R,

Candidates enrolled in R = \(\frac{12 }{100}\) × 5500

= 660

Candidates passed in R = \(\frac{18 }{100}\) × 3300

= 594

Required percentage = \(\frac{594}{660}\) × 100 = 90%

In S,

Candidates enrolled in S = \(\frac{18 }{100}\) × 5500

= 990

Candidates passed in S = \(\frac{24 }{100}\) × 3300

= 792

Required percentage = \(\frac{792}{990}\) × 100 = 80%

In T,

Candidates enrolled in T = \(\frac{20 }{100}\) × 5500

= 1100

Candidates passed in T = \(\frac{16 }{100}\) × 3300

= 528

Required percentage = \(\frac{528}{1100}\) × 100 = 48%

So , Institute R has the highest percentage of candidates passed to the candidates enrolled.
