Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFTo find the average number of candidates found eligible from all states for Post III, we need to:
Extract eligible candidates for Post III from all states
From the table, Post III "Eligible (E)" values for each state are:
A = 5200
B = 8400
C = 7600
D = 2600
E = 3800
F = 4400
G = 6000
Add all eligible candidates
5200 + 8400 + 7600 + 2600 + 3800 + 4400 + 6000 = 38,000
Step 3: Calculate average
Average = Total / Number of States
⇒ 38000 / 7 = 5429
Correct answer: Approximately 5500
Option 4 is the most appropriate and correct based on approximation.
