Correct Answer: 30000
Solution : Given: Passed the quantitative aptitude test = 73% Passed the general awareness test = 70% Passed in both subjects = 64% Failed in both subjects = 6300 Total candidates = 100% Percentage of candidates who passed in at least one subject = 73% + 70% – 64% = 79% Percentage of candidates who failed in both subjects = 100% – 79% = 21% So, 21% is equivalent to 6300. ⇒ 1% is equivalent to $\frac{6300}{21}$. $\therefore$ 100% is equivalent to $\frac{6300×100}{21}$ = 30000 Hence, the correct answer is 30000.
