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:
2.
Which institute has the highest percentage of candidates passed to the candidates enrolled?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The percentage of candidates passed to candidates enrolled can be determined for each institute as under:
| (i) P = |  |
 |
18% of 5700 |  |
x 100 | ![]](/_files/images/data-interpretation/common/15-sym-cbracket-h1.gif) |
% = | |
18 x 5700 | x 100 | |
% = 54.55%. |
| 22% of 8550 | 22 x 8550 |
| (ii) Q = | |
|
17% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 75.56%. |
| 15% of 8550 |
| (iii) R = | |
|
13% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 86.67%. |
| 10% of 8550 |
| (iv) S = | |
|
16% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 62.75%. |
| 17% of 8550 |
| (v) T = | |
|
9% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 75%. |
| 8% of 8550 |
| (vi) V = | |
|
15% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 83.33%. |
| 12% of 8550 |
| (vii) X = | |
|
12% of 5700 | |
x 100 | |
% | = 50%. |
| 16% of 8550 |
Highest of these is 86.67% corresponding to institute R.

Check with options only.
Q: 17/15 = 1.1333.
R: 13/10 = 1.3.
V: 15/12 = 1.25.
T: 9/8 = 1.125.
Q: 17/15 = 1.1333.

Q:17/15 =(1+7)/(1+5) = 8/6 = 1.13.
R:13/10 =1.30.
V:15/12 = 5/4 = 1.2.
T:9/8 = 1.1.
Also you need not calculate 2 digits as after decimal as its clear if u get anything below 1.3.

@Pravin.
8/6= 1.3 not 1.13.
8/6= 1.3 not 1.13.

Find the differences in percentage from both enrolled and passed.
Let;
P = 18-22= -4.
Q = 17-15 = 2.
R = 13-10= 3.
S= 16-17= 1.
T= 9-8= 1.
V= 15-12= 3.
X= 12-16= -4.
Therefore R is the answer.
