In a competitive examination in State A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates. State B had an equal number of candidates appeared and 7% candidates got selected with 80 more candidates got selected than A. What was the number of candidates appeared from each State ?

Correct Answer: 8000

Explanation:

Let the number of candidates appeared from each state be x.


In state A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates


In state B, 7% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates


But in State B, 80 more candidates got selected than State A


From these, it is clear that 1% of the total appeared candidates in State B = 80


=> total appeared candidates in State B = 80 x 100 = 8000


=> total appeared candidates in State A = total appeared candidates in State B = 8000
