Table-1 below shows the percentage (%) distribution of candidates who qualified in a competitive examination from six different states A - F during the two years 2021 and 2022, along with the ratio of Males to females among them and Table-2 shows the total number of candidates who appeared and percentage (%) of candidates who qualified from all the six states A - F in same two years. Based on the data in the tables, answer the questions that follow : Table - 1: State-wise Details of Qualified Candidates in 2021 and 2022. Year/State 2021 2022 Qualified (%) Male ∶ Female Qualified (%) Male ∶ Female A 18% 5 ∶ 4 20% 28 ∶ 17 B 16% 3 ∶ 1 12% 5 ∶ 3 C 12% 7 ∶ 5 16% 11 ∶ 5 D 16% 13 ∶ 11 15% 15 ∶ 11 E 25% 13 ∶ 12 22% 15 ∶ 9 F 13% 8 ∶ 1 15% 11 ∶ 9 Table -2 Year-wise Details of Appeared and Qualified (%) Candidates Year Total Appeared from state A-F Percentage (%) Qualified from States A-F 2021 142000 45% 2022 180000 52%
The number of male candidates who qualified from state E in 2022 is approximately _________ % more than the number of male candidates who qualified from state F in 2021.
74
The problem requires us to calculate the percentage increase in the number of male candidates who qualified from state E in 2022 compared to the number of male candidates who qualified from state F in 2021. We will use the data provided in Table-1 and Table-2 to perform the necessary calculations step-by-step.
| Year/State | 2021 | 2022 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qualified (%) | Male ∶ Female | Qualified (%) | Male ∶ Female | |
| A | 18% | 5 ∶ 4 | 20% | 28 ∶ 17 |
| B | 16% | 3 ∶ 1 | 12% | 5 ∶ 3 |
| C | 12% | 7 ∶ 5 | 16% | 11 ∶ 5 |
| D | 16% | 13 ∶ 11 | 15% | 15 ∶ 11 |
| E | 25% | 13 ∶ 12 | 22% | 15 ∶ 9 |
| F | 13% | 8 ∶ 1 | 15% | 11 ∶ 9 |
| Year | Total Appeared from state A-F | Percentage (%) Qualified from States A-F |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 142000 | 45% |
| 2022 | 180000 | 52% |
Calculation:
\( 1420 \times 45 = 1420 \times (40 + 5) = 1420 \times 40 + 1420 \times 5 = 56800 + 7100 = 63900 \)
Total qualified candidates in 2021 = 63900.
Calculation:
\( 1800 \times 52 = 1800 \times (50 + 2) = 1800 \times 50 + 1800 \times 2 = 90000 + 3600 = 93600 \)
Total qualified candidates in 2022 = 93600.
Calculation:
\( 639 \times 13 = 639 \times (10 + 3) = 6390 + 1917 = 8307 \)
Number of qualified candidates from state F in 2021 = 8307.
Calculation:
\( 936 \times 22 = 936 \times (20 + 2) = 18720 + 1872 = 20592 \)
Number of qualified candidates from state E in 2022 = 20592.
Calculation:
\( \frac{8307}{9} = 923 \)
\( 923 \times 8 = 7384 \)
Number of male qualified candidates from state F in 2021 = 7384.
Calculation:
\( \frac{20592}{24} = 858 \)
\( 858 \times 15 = 858 \times (10 + 5) = 8580 + 4290 = 12870 \)
Number of male qualified candidates from state E in 2022 = 12870.
Calculation:
\( \frac{5486}{7384} \approx 0.74296 \)
\( 0.74296 \times 100 \approx 74.296 \)
The number of male candidates who qualified from state E in 2022 is approximately 74.3% more than the number of male candidates who qualified from state F in 2021.
Rounding to the nearest integer, the percentage increase is approximately 74%.
The final answer is approximately 74%.
| Metric | Year 2021 | Year 2022 |
|---|---|---|
| Total Appeared | 142000 | 180000 |
| % Qualified (Overall) | 45% | 52% |
| Total Qualified | 63900 | 93600 |
| % Qualified from State F | 13% | - |
| % Qualified from State E | - | 22% |
| Qualified from State F | 8307 | - |
| Qualified from State E | - | 20592 |
| Male:Female Ratio (State F) | 8:1 | - |
| Male:Female Ratio (State E) | - | 15:9 (or 5:3) |
| Male Qualified (State F) | 7384 | - |
| Male Qualified (State E) | - | 12870 |
| Increase in Male Qualified (E 2022 vs F 2021) | \(12870 - 7384 = 5486\) | |
| Percentage Increase | \(\frac{5486}{7384} \times 100 \approx 74.3 \%\) | |
