Which of the following institutes has the highest percentage of qualified candidates with respect to the number of candidates enrolled in that institute? Given that the number of candidates enrolled in institutes B, E, F and G are 18,000, 28,800, 21,600 and 16,200, respectively. Correct Answer G

Calculation:

Qualified candidates in institution B = 75000 × 15% = 11250

Qualified candidates in institution E = 75000 × 20% = 15000

Qualified candidates in institution F = 75000 × 15% = 11250

Qualified candidates in institution G = 75000 × 20% = 15000

Qualification % (Institution B) = 11250/18000 × 100% = 62.5%

Qualification % (Institution E) = 15000/28800 × 100% = 52.08%

Qualification % (Institution F) = 11250/21600 × 100% = 52.08%

Qualification % (Institution G) = 15000/16200 × 100% = 92.59%

∴ G has the highest percentage of qualified candidates with respect to the number of candidates enrolled in that institute.
