Analyzing CET Qualified Candidates Data

The question asks us to determine the number of females qualified from City-F in 2020 as a percentage of the total number of candidates qualified from City-E in the same year. We need to use the provided table showing the distribution percentage of qualified candidates and the male-to-female ratios for each city and year.

Year 2020 2021
City Distribution % of Qualified Candidates Ratio M &Female; F Distribution % of Qualified Candidates Ratio M &Female; F
A 13% 8 ∶ 5 24% 5 ∶ 7
B 27% 11 ∶ 8 15% 12 ∶ 11
C 11% 7 ∶ 4 23% 15 ∶ 8
D 20% 2 ∶ 3 17% 8 ∶ 9
E 8% 5 ∶ 3 8% 1 ∶ 3
F 21% 13 ∶ 8 13% 5 ∶ 8

We are given the total number of qualified candidates in all six cities for 2020 is 3800.

Calculate Number of Females Qualified from City-F in 2020

First, let's find the total number of qualified candidates from City-F in 2020. The table shows that 21% of the total qualified candidates in 2020 were from City-F.

  • Total qualified candidates in 2020 = 3800
  • Percentage of candidates from City-F in 2020 = 21%
  • Number of candidates from City-F in 2020 = $3800 \times \frac{21}{100} = 38 \times 21 = 798$

Next, we find the number of females from City-F in 2020. The male to female ratio for City-F in 2020 is given as 13:8. The total parts in the ratio are $13 + 8 = 21$.

  • Total candidates from City-F in 2020 = 798
  • Ratio of Males to Females (M:F) in City-F (2020) = 13:8
  • Total parts in ratio = 13 + 8 = 21
  • Number of females from City-F in 2020 = Total candidates from City-F $\times \frac{\text{Female ratio part}}{\text{Total ratio parts}}$
  • Number of females from City-F in 2020 = $798 \times \frac{8}{21}$
  • $798 \div 21 = 38$
  • Number of females from City-F in 2020 = $38 \times 8 = 304$

So, the number of females qualified from City-F in 2020 is 304.

Calculate Total Number of Candidates Qualified from City-E in 2020

Now, let's find the total number of qualified candidates from City-E in 2020. The table shows that 8% of the total qualified candidates in 2020 were from City-E.

  • Total qualified candidates in 2020 = 3800
  • Percentage of candidates from City-E in 2020 = 8%
  • Number of candidates from City-E in 2020 = $3800 \times \frac{8}{100} = 38 \times 8 = 304$

So, the total number of candidates qualified from City-E in 2020 is 304.

Calculate the Percentage

Finally, we need to find the number of females qualified from City-F in 2020 as a percentage of the total number of candidates qualified from City-E in the same year.

  • Number of females from City-F in 2020 = 304
  • Total candidates from City-E in 2020 = 304
  • Percentage = $\frac{\text{Number of females from City-F (2020)}}{\text{Total candidates from City-E (2020)}} \times 100\%$
  • Percentage = $\frac{304}{304} \times 100\%$
  • Percentage = $1 \times 100\%$
  • Percentage = $100\%$

Therefore, the number of females qualified from City-F in 2020 is 100% of the number of candidates qualified from City-E in the same year.

Revision Table - CET Data Analysis

Metric Value (2020)
Total Qualified Candidates (All Cities) 3800
Distribution % City-F 21%
Ratio M:F City-F 13:8
Distribution % City-E 8%
Number of Candidates City-F $3800 \times 0.21 = 798$
Females in City-F $798 \times (8/21) = 304$
Number of Candidates City-E $3800 \times 0.08 = 304$
Females City-F as % of Candidates City-E $(304 / 304) \times 100\%$ = 100%

Additional Information - Percentage Calculations

Percentage calculation is a fundamental concept in quantitative aptitude. A percentage represents a part of a whole, expressed as a fraction of 100. The formula to calculate the percentage of a value 'A' with respect to a value 'B' is:

$\text{Percentage} = \frac{A}{B} \times 100\%$

In this problem, 'A' is the number of females from City-F in 2020, and 'B' is the total number of candidates from City-E in 2020. Both values were calculated based on the given total qualified candidates for the year and the respective distribution percentages from the table.

Ratio analysis is also crucial. A ratio like M:F means that for every M males, there are F females. The total number of individuals is proportional to M + F. To find the number of females when the total is known and the ratio M:F is given, you calculate: Total $\times \frac{F}{M+F}$.
