Which one of the following is the correct logical inference based on the information provided in the above passage?
Analyzing Test Appearance Data
Boys constituted 65% of the candidates who appeared for the national entrance test.
The percentage of girls who appeared is calculated as:
$ 100\% - 65\% = 35\% $
This indicates that the number of boys who appeared was greater than the number of girls who appeared.
Comparing Qualification Percentages
Girls accounted for 60% of the qualified candidates.
Therefore, the percentage of boys who qualified is:
$ 100\% - 60\% = 40\% $
This means that among the total qualified candidates, girls represent a larger proportion (60%) than boys (40%).
Logical Inference on Qualified Candidates
Based on the qualification breakdown:
- Number of boys qualified = 40% of total qualified candidates.
- Number of girls qualified = 60% of total qualified candidates.
Since 60% is greater than 40%, the number of girls who qualified is greater than the number of boys who qualified.
Evaluating Inference Options
- Option 1 (Equal boys and girls qualified): Incorrect. Qualification percentages are unequal (40% vs 60%).
- Option 2 (Equal boys and girls appeared): Incorrect. Appearance percentages are unequal (65% vs 35%).
- Option 3 (Boys appeared < Girls appeared): Incorrect. Boys appeared (65%) were more than girls (35%).
- Option 4 (Boys qualified < Girls qualified): Correct. Boys constituted 40% and girls 60% of qualified candidates.
