Answer» Since the RATIO of selected to unselected was 2 : 1; Selected CANDIDATES = 2x, Unselected candidates = x and total applied candidates = 3x If 50 LESS had applied and 25 less selected, the ratio of selected to unselected would have been 9 : 4 ∴ Total applied candidates = (3x – 50) And Selected candidates = (2x – 25) and Unselected candidates = x – 50 + 25 ∴ (2x – 25) / (x – 25) = 9/4 ⇒ x = 125 ∴ Total number of candidates who applied = 3x = 375 |
