Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below:
Distribution of candidates who were enrolled for MBA entrance exam and the candidates (out of those enrolled) who passed the exam in different institutes:
What is the ratio of candidates who passed to the candidates who enrolled from institute P?
9 : 11
14 : 17
6 : 11
9 : 17
Correct answer is C
Required ratio = ( (18% of 5700)/(22% of 8550) ) = ( (18 x 5700)/(22 x 8550) ) = 6/11
Study the following graph carefully and answer the questions given below:
Distribution of candidates who were enrolled for MBA entrance exam and the candidates (out of those enrolled) who passed the exam in different institutes:
68%
80%
74%
65%
Correct answer is B
Candidates passed from institutes Q and R together = [(13% + 17%) of 5700]
= 30% of 5700.
Candidates enrolled from institutes Q and R together = [(15% + 10%) of 8550]
= 25% of 8550.
Therefore Required Percentage = ( (30% of 5700)/(25% of 8550) x 100 ) %
= ( (30 x 5700)/(25 x 8550) x 100 ) % = 80%

Distribution of candidates who were enrolled for MBA entrance exam and the candidates (out of those enrolled) who passed the exam in different institutes:
228
279
399
407
Correct answer is C
Required difference = [(16% + 18%) of 5700] - [(8% + 10%) of 8550]
= [(34% of 5700) - (18% of 8550)]
= (1938 - 1539)
= 399

Distribution of candidates who were enrolled for MBA entrance exam and the candidates (out of those enrolled) who passed the exam in different institutes:
Which institute has the highest percentage of candidates who passed to the candidates enrolled?
Q
R
V
T
Correct answer is B
The percentage of candidates passed to candidates enrolled can be determined for each institute as under:
(i) P = [ ( (18% of 5700)/(22% of 8550) ) x 100 ] % = [ (18 x 5700)/(22 x 8550) x 100 ] % = 54.55%
(ii) Q = [ ( (17% of 5700)/(15% of 8550) ) x 100 ] % = 75.56%
(iii) R = [ ( (13% of 5700)/(10% of 8550) ) x 100 ] % = 86.67%
(iv) S = [ ( (16% of 5700)/(17% of 8550) ) x 100 ] % = 62.75%
(v) T = [ ( (9% of 5700)/(8% of 8550) ) x 100 ] % = 75%
(vi) V = [ ( (15% of 5700)/(12% of 8550) ) x 100 ] % = 83.33%
(vii) X = [ ( (12% of 5700)/(16% of 8550) ) x 100 ] % = 50%.
Highest of these is 86.67% corresponding to institute R.

Distribution of candidates who were enrolled for MBA entrance exam and the candidates (out of those enrolled) who passed the exam in different institutes:
50%
62.5%
75%
80%
Correct answer is C
Required percentage = ( (9% of 5700)/(8% of 8550) x 100 ) % = ( (9 x 5700)/(8% of 8550) x 100 ) % = 75%
