Question

Out of 500 candidates, only 60% cleared the test. 40% from Delhi, 20% from Bihar and remaining from other states. Find the number of candidates who cleared the test from other states.
1. 120
2. 100
3. 150
4. 180

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : 120

Given

Total number of candidates = 500

Percentage of candidates cleared the test = 60%

Calculation

Number of candidates clear the test = 60% of 500

⇒ 300

Number of candidates clear the test from other states = (100 - 40 - 20)% of 300

⇒ 40% of 300

⇒ 120

∴ The number of candidates from other states who cleared the test is 120
