From which zone was the total number of candidates who qualified the test, the second highest in the year 2009 and 2010 together?

According to question,
The population of females above poverty line in State E = 19800
As per given graph,
Proportion of Male and Female above poverty line in State E = 3 : 2
If 2 Female above poverty line then total population above poverty line will be 5 in State E
If 1 Female above poverty line then total population above poverty line will be 5/2 in State E
If 19800 Female above poverty line then total population above poverty line will be 5 x 19800/ 2 in State E
Population of State E above poverty line = 5 x 19800/ 2 = 5 x 9900 = 49500
Percentage population below poverty line in State E = 10 % ( As given in table chart )
? Percentage population above poverty line in State E = ( 100 - 10 ) % = 90 %
? Total population of State E = 49500 x 100 / 90 = 4950 x 100 / 9 = 550 x 100 = 55000
Percentage of population below poverty line in State E = 10 %
Population below poverty line in State E = 55000 x 10 % = 55000 x 10 / 100 = 5500
Ratio of population of males and females below poverty line in State E = 6 : 5
Since population below poverty line is 11 then male population below poverty line = 6
Since population below poverty line is 1 then male population below poverty line = 6 / 11
Hence population below poverty line is 5500 then male population below poverty line = 6 x 5500 / 11 = 6 x 500 = 3000

According to question,
The population of males below poverty line in State A = 3000
The population of males below poverty line in State E = 6000
As per given graph,
Proportion of Male and Female below poverty line in State A = 3 : 2
If 3 Male below poverty line then total population will be 5 in State A
If 1 Male below poverty line then total population will be 5/3 in State A
If 3000 Male below poverty line then total population will be 5 x 3000 / 3 in State A
Population of State A below poverty line = 3000 x 5 / 3 = 1000 x 5 = 5000
Percentage population below poverty line in State A = 12 % ( As given in table chart)
? Total population of State A = 5000 x 100 / 12 = 500000/12

Proportion of Male and Female below poverty line in State E = 6 : 5
If 6 Male below poverty line then total population will be 11 in State E
If 1 Male below poverty line then total population will be 11/6 in State E
If 600 Male below poverty line then total population will be 11 x 6000 / 6 in State E
Population of State E below poverty line = 6000 x 11 / 6 = 1000 x 11 = 11000
Percentage population below poverty line in State E = 10 % ( As given in table chart )
? Total population of State E = 11000 x 100 / 10 = 110000
Ratio of the total population of State A and E = Population of State A / Population of State B
? Ratio of the total population of State A and E = 500000 / 12 x 110000
? Ratio of the total population of State A and E = 50 / 12 x 11 = 25 / 6 x 11 = 25 / 66

Since we cannot find the population of States C and D separately, we cannot find the required value.

As per given question,
Percentage population below poverty line = 12 %
Percentage population above poverty line = ( 100 - 12 ) % = 88 %
Proportion of male and female above poverty line = 4 : 3
The total population of state A = 3000
The population above poverty line in state A = 3000 x 88 %
Number of females above poverty line in State A = 3000 x 88 % x 3 / 7 ? 1200.

As per given graph , It is clear that Difference between the appeared candidates and qualified candidates in the zone S :
Hence required answer will be 2007 year , which is second lowest ( 270 ).

From above table , we have
Total number of Executives recruited by organisation U in the years 2007 and 2009 = 534 + 510 = 1044
Total number of Executives recruited by organisation P in the years 2007 and 2009 = 506 + 492 = 998
Required ratio = total number of Executives recruited by organisation U in the years 2007 and 2009 : the total number of Executives recruited by organisation P in the same years
Required ratio = 1044 : 998 = 522 : 499
