A) 16160

D) 1106600

E) None of these

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Number of candidates clearing the exam from States E and F together in 2006

= $\left(1.42 lakhs\times\frac{49}{100}\right) + \left(1.58 lakhs\times\frac{26}{100}\right)$

= $\frac{\left(1.42\times49\right) + \left(1.58\times26\right)}{100} $

= $\frac{(69.58+41.08)}{100}$

=$\frac{110.66}{100}\times100000 = 110660$
