Calculation

Total candidate who passed in P and Q is (18% + 17%)

⇒ (18% + 17%) of 5700 

⇒ 35% of 5700

⇒ 1995

⇒ Student who enrolled form institute T and R = 10% + 8%

⇒ (10% + 8%) of 8550

⇒ 18% of 8550

⇒ 1539

⇒ We have to find the the student who passed from institute P and Q exceeds who enrolled from institute T and R.

⇒ 1995 - 1539 = 456

∴ The number of candidates who passed form institutes P and Q together exceeds the number of candidates who enrolled form institutes T and R together is 456
