Previous Year Question (PYQs)
In a competitive examination in Maharashtra state
9% candidates got selected from the total appeared
candidates. Tripura state had an equal number of
candidates appeared and 12% candidates got selected
with 102 more candidates got selected than
Maharashtra state. What was the number of
candidates appeared from each state?
Solution
Let the number of candidates appeared from each state be $x$.Maharashtra selected candidates
$= 9\%$ of $x = \dfrac{9}{100}x$
Tripura selected candidates
$= 12\%$ of $x = \dfrac{12}{100}x$
Given that Tripura has $102$ more selected candidates than Maharashtra:
\[
\dfrac{12}{100}x - \dfrac{9}{100}x = 102
\]
\[
\dfrac{3}{100}x = 102
\]
\[
x = 102 \times \dfrac{100}{3} = 3400
\]
Thus, the number of candidates appeared from each state is
3400.
