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:

4.
What is the percentage of candidates passed to the candidates enrolled for institutes Q and R together?
68%
80%
74%
65%
Answer: Option
Explanation:

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 x 100 ) %
25% of 8550
= ( 30 x 5700 x 100 ) %
25 x 8550
= 80%.

In the top chart, 10%+115% = 25%, but 25% of 8550 isn't a whole number, and you can't have half a candidate.

30% of 5700 is 1710.

25% of 8550 is 2137.5.

The figure should be 30 % of 5700 instead of 30 % of 57000 in the second line of the explanation. Please amend the same.
