  • Question

  • In which of the following years was the percentage passed to appeared candidates from semi-urban area the least?


  • Options
  • A. 1991
  • B. 1993
  • C. 1990
  • D. 1992

  • Correct Answer
  • 1990 

    Explanation

    Our intelligent observation says that the required year cannot be 1993, 1994, 1995. Why? Because see the following conclusions:
    % passed to appear = Passed / Appeared x 100
    % of passed to appear is least when Passed / Appeared is the least or, Appeared / Passed is the most.
    Now, we do the further calculations mentally. See the following conclusions:
    For 1990: 7894 / 2513 ? Quotient = 3 and Remainder ? 300
    For 1991: 8562 / 2933 ? Q = 3 and R ? 400
    For 1992: 8139 / 2468 ? Q = 3 and R ? 800
    Similarly, for 1993; 1994, 1995, Q is 2.
    So, 1992 gives the highest value.
