Q80 2015, Percentage

Candidates in a competitive examination consisted of 60% men and 40% women. 70% men and 75% women cleared the qualifying test and entered the final test where 80% men and 70% women were successful. Which of the following statements is correct?

किसी प्रतियोगी परीक्षा में 60% पुरुष और 40% महिला परीक्षार्थी थे । 70% पुरुष और 75% महिला प्रतियोगियों ने अर्हक परीक्षण में सफल होकर अंतिम परीक्षण में भाग लिया जिसमें 80% पुरुष और 70% महिलाएँ सफल रहीं । निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा कथन सही है ?

Let there are 100 persons in which 60 are men and 40 are women.

⸫ Number of men who cleared the qualifying test = 70 x 60 / 100 = 42

Number of women who cleared the qualifying test = 40 x 3 / 4 = 30

Number of men who get success in final test = 42 x 4 / 5 = 33.6

Number of women who get success in final test = 30 x 70 / 100 = 21

Hence, more men cleared the examination than women.
