Question 33
In an examination, 10% of the applicants were found ineligible, and 85% of the eligible candidates belonged to the general category. If 3645 eligible candidates belonged to other categories, then how many candidates applied for the examination?
Solution
Let the total number of applicants be T.
10% are ineligible, so 90% are eligible → Eligible = 0.90T
Of the eligible, 85% are General, so 15% are from Other Categories.
0.15 × 0.90T = 3645
0.135T = 3645
T = 27000
