In which year did the highest number of candidates clear the entrance exam from State D ?


A) 2008

B) 2006

C) 2009

D) 2007

E) None of these

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Number of candidates clearing the exam from State D in

2008 → $\left(1.83\times\frac{60}{100}\right) lakhs $

= $\frac{(1.83\times3)}{5} lakhs $

= $\frac{5.49}{5} lakhs = 1.10 lakhs$

2009 → $\left(2.01\times\frac{56}{100}\right) lakhs$

= $\frac{(2.01\times14)}{25} lakhs$

= $\frac{28.14}{25} lakhs = 1.12 lakhs$

In rest of the years it is clearly less. So, it is maximum in the year 2009.
