This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2022 Paper 1 Question Paper (22-Oct-2022) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

432 : 205

 To find the ratio of candidates qualifying from State P in 2017, 2018, and 2020 together to those qualifying from State Q in 2017, 2019, and 2020 together, we need to calculate the number of qualified candidates for the specified years by using the given percentages of qualified candidates.

  1. Calculate Qualified Candidates for State P:
    • 2017: \(1800 \times \frac{60}{100} = 1080\)
    • 2018: \(2400 \times \frac{43}{100} = 1032\)
    • 2020: \(1920 \times \frac{70}{100} = 1344\)
  2. Total qualified candidates from State P for 2017, 2018, and 2020: \(1080 + 1032 + 1344 = 3456\)
  3. Calculate Qualified Candidates for State Q:
    • 2017: \(1520 \times \frac{30}{100} = 456\)
    • 2019: \(1040 \times \frac{60}{100} = 624\)
    • 2020: \(800 \times \frac{70}{100} = 560\)
  4. Total qualified candidates from State Q for 2017, 2019, and 2020: \(456 + 624 + 560 = 1640\)
  5. Finding the Ratio:
    • Ratio of P (2017, 2018, 2020) to Q (2017, 2019, 2020) is: \(\frac{3456}{1640}\)
    • Simplifying, divide both terms by the greatest common divisor which is 8: \(\frac{3456 \div 8}{1640 \div 8} = \frac{432}{205}\)

Thus, the ratio of candidates qualifying from P in 2017, 2018, and 2020 to those from Q in the years specified is 432 : 205.
