A) 12.93%

B) 14.46%

C) 10.84%

D) 11.37%

E) None of these

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Total number of candidates from all the 5 cities

= [(1.25 + 3.14 + 1.08 + 2.27 + 1.85 + 2.73) x 100000] = (12.32 x 100000) = 1232000.

Number of candidates passing the exam from City F

= (712×2.73×100000)

= (7×273×100012)

= (7×91×250)=159250

Required Percentage = (1592501232000×100)%

= (159251232)% = 12.926 = 12.93%
