Read the two cities off the chart: Kolkata had $3250$ appear and $2250$ qualify; Delhi had $2500$ appear and $2000$ qualify. Average qualified $=\frac{2250+2000}{2}=\frac{4250}{2}=2125$. Average appeared $=\frac{3250+2500}{2}=\frac{5750}{2}=2875$. 'A is what percent of B' means $\frac{A}{B}\times100$, so the answer is $\frac{2125}{2875}\times100=73.9130\ldots$ The third decimal digit is $3$, so rounding to two places gives 73.91% - Option 3.

Total number of students who appeared and qualified from various cities at a Management Entrance Exam: What is the difference between the average number of students who appeared in the entrance exam from all the given cities and the average number of students who qualified from all the cities together?

• B990
• C1100
• D1020

Show solution

Both averages are over the same five cities, so read each series off the chart and divide by $5$. Appeared: $\frac{3000+2250+3250+2500+3000}{5}=\frac{14000}{5}=2800$. Qualified: $\frac{1750+1250+2250+2000+2000}{5}=\frac{9250}{5}=1850$. Difference $=2800-1850=**950**$ - Option 1. Shortcut: since both are divided by the same $5$, you can subtract the totals first - $\frac{14000-9250}{5}=\frac{4750}{5}=950$.

Show solution

From the chart, $2500$ students appeared from Delhi. Across all five cities, $3000+2250+3250+2500+3000=14000$ appeared. Required percentage $=\frac{2500}{14000}\times100=17.857\ldots\%$, which is approximately 18% - Option 2. The other options are far off: $24\%$ would need about $3360$ students and $12\%$ only $1680$.
