1st way:
(4990) or 5000 approximately -2000 ~ 4800.
= 42150-2000~40000.
So 4800/40000*100 = 12 actual just less near 12 so answer = 11.84.
2nd way:
4.990/4.215*10 ~ 5/4.2*10 = 1/20/1/24 (using fraction) = 1.2*10 = 12%. So answer just less = 11.84.

The total qualified candidates of state N in all years.
= (840+1050+920+980+1020) ÷ (7500+9200+8450+9200+8800)*100
= (4810÷43150)*100,
= 11.147%.
Approximately the answer is 11.15%.

Please follow the below method.
i.e., 4990 = 5000 & 42150 = 42000.
Now, 5000/42000*100 = 11.90.
The nearest value is 11.84.
Hence, take that as an answer.

The value 840 is showed in the calculation but there is no such value in table similarly for value 7500.

How you have taken 4800 only as approximate?
Because nearest for 4990 is 5000. Can you please explain?
