Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : C

Given:

Number of applications of candidates from State M in 2000 = 6800

Number of applications of candidates from State N in 2000 = 9200

Number of applications of candidates from State P in 2000 = 8750

Number of applications of candidates from State Q in 2000 = 9700

Number of applications of candidates from State R in 2000 = 7600

Number of applications of candidates from State M in 2001 = 9500

Number of applications of candidates from State N in 2001 = 8800

Number of applications of candidates from State P in 2001 = 9750

Number of applications of candidates from State Q in 2001 = 8950

Number of applications of candidates from State R in 2001 = 7990

Calculations:

Total number of applications of candidates from all states in the year 2000 = 6800 + 9200 + 8750 + 9700 + 7600

⇒ 42,050

Total number of applications of candidates from all states in the year 2001 = 9500 + 8800 + 9750 + 8950 + 7990

⇒ 44,990

Percentage = (42,050/44,990) × 100

⇒ 93.4%

∴ The total number of applications of candidates from all states in the year 2000 is approximately 93.4% of the total number of applications of candidates from all states in the year 2001.
