The correct answer is

10%

 To solve the problem, we need to determine the percentage of candidates who remained unqualified from state P in 2021.

  1. First, get the total number of candidates who qualified from state P in 2021. The total number of qualified candidates from 2020 and 2021 is given as 2712.
  2. From the table, the number of candidates who appeared in 2020 from state P is 1920, and 70% of them qualified. Thus, the number of candidates who qualified from state P in 2020 is calculated as: \(1920 \times \frac{70}{100} = 1344\)
  3. Using the information given, we can find the number of qualified candidates from state P in 2021: \(2712 - 1344 = 1368\) (candidates qualified in 2021)
  4. Next, determine the number of candidates who appeared from state P in 2021. The table indicates 1520 candidates appeared.
  5. Calculate the number of candidates who did not qualify in 2021: \(1520 - 1368 = 152\) (candidates did not qualify)
  6. Finally, find the percentage of candidates who remained unqualified: \(\left(\frac{152}{1520}\right) \times 100 \approx 10\%\)

Therefore, the percentage of candidates who remained unqualified from state P in 2021 is 10%.
