Combining 2004 and 2005, if 75% of the appeared candidates from state R qualified in the given competitive exam, what was the total number of appeared candidates from state R in 2004 and 2005 together?

Solution

Total number of qualified candidates from state R in 2004 and 2005

= $$160 + 500 = 660$$

Let the appeared candidates = $$x$$

=> $$x = 660 \times \frac{4}{3} = 880$$
