NOTE :Few values are missing in the table (indicated by —). A candidate is expected to calculate the missing value, if it is required to answer the given question on the basis of given data and information.
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 ?
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
