The percentages of candidates selected from U.P. over those qualified from U.P. during different years are:

For 1997 = ( 78/720 x 100 ) % = 10.83%

For 1998 = ( 85/620 x 100 ) % = 13.71%

For 1999 = ( 48/400 x 100 ) % = 12%

For 2000 = ( 70/650 x 100 ) % = 10.77%

For 2001 = ( 80/950 x 100 ) % = 8.42%

Clearly, this percentage is highest for the year 1998.

Required percentage = [ (75 + 75 + 55 + 60 + 75)/(94 + 48 + 82 + 90 + 70) x 100 ] %

= [ 340/384 x 100 ] %

= 88.54%

≈ 88.5%

The percentages of candidates selected over the candidates appeared in 1997, for various states are:

(i) For Delhi = ( 94/8000 x 100 ) % = 1.175%

(ii) For H.P. = ( 82/7800 x 100 ) % = 1.051%

(iii) For U.P. = ( 78/7500 x 100 ) % = 1.040%

(iv) For Punjab ( 85/8200 x 100 ) % = 1.037%

(v) For Haryana ( 75/6400 x 100 ) % = 1.172%

Clearly, this percentage is lowest for Punjab.

The percentages of candidates qualified from Punjab over those appeared from Punjab during different years are:

For 1997 = ( 680/8200 x 100 ) % = 8.29%

For 1998 = ( 600/6800 x 100 ) % = 8.82%

For 1999 = ( 525/6500 x 100 ) % = 8.08%

For 2000 = ( 720/7800 x 100 ) % = 9.23%

For 2001 = ( 485/5700 x 100 ) % = 8.51%

Clearly, this percentage is highest for the year 2000.

The average number of candidates selected over the given period for various states are:

For Delhi = (94 + 48 + 82 + 90 + 70)/5 = 384/5 = 76.8

For H.P. = (82 + 65 + 70 + 86 + 75)/5 = 378/5 = 75.6

For U.P. = (78 + 85 + 48 + 70 + 80)/5 = 361/5 = 72.2

For Punjab = (85 + 70 + 65 + 84 + 60)/5 = 364/5 = 72.8

For Haryana = (75 + 75 + 55 + 60 + 75)/5 = 340/5 = 68

Clearly, this average is maximum for Delhi.
