e) None of these
Solutions:
1. A) No. of candidates who appeared from states C and E together = (8% + 9%) of 45000 = 17% of 45000
No. of candidates who appeared from states A and F together = (15% + 18%) of 45000 = 33% of 45000

appeared 3600
No. of qualified (7/100) (11/100) 9000 (21/100) 9000 = (14/100) 9000 = (13/100) 9000 =

Ratio (630 / 3600) (990/8100) 1890/7650 1260/4050 1170/9900
Since we have to find minimum percentage increase, compare 11/90 and 117/990
Required % = [(23 9000) / (19 45000)] 100 = [(23 100) / (19 5)] = (23 20) / 19 = 24.21%

Solutions:
To find the maximum possible number of days on which it rained in exactly one state in southern India we need
to minimize the number of days it rained in both the states in southern India. The minimum possible number of
days it rained in both Kerala and Karnataka in January as (6 + 4) 7 = 3.
