Question 31

Out of the number of qualified candidates from State P in 2008, the respective
ratio of male and female candidates is 11 : 7. If the number of female qualified candidates from State P in 2008 is 126, what is the number of appeared candidates (both male and female) from State Pin 2008 ?

Solution

Let the number of qualified candidates from state P in 2008 be

male = 11x and female = 7x

Since, no. of qualified female candidates = 126 (given)

=> 7x = 126 => x = 18

Therefore, total qualified candidates from state P in 2008 = 11x + 7x = 18x

=18*18 = 324

Since, 60% candidates qualified from state P in 2008

No. of appeared candidates = (324*100)/60 = 540
