Question
In city S, if number of candidates who were not appeared
is 2/11 of the total number of applicants, then find the approximate percentage of the candidates who got selected out of appeared?Solution
Let the total number of applicants be x  Total number of non-appeared candidate = 2/11 of x  Total number of appeared candidates = Number of applicants – Number of non-appeared candidates  x – 2/11 of x = 9x/11  Total number of applicants who got selected =60% of x = 3x/5  So required % = [(3x/5)/(9x/11)] × 100 = 3300/45 = 73.33% = Approx. 73%
