Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFTo find the overall percentage of candidates short-listed over eligible from all states together for Post I, use the formula:
Formula used:
Percentage = (Total Short-Listed ÷ Total Eligible) × 100
Calculation:
Eligible (Post I):
A = 2500
B = 3200
C = 2800
D = 2400
E = 3000
F = 4800
G = 6500
Total Eligible = 2500 + 3200 + 2800 + 2400 + 3000 + 4800 + 6500 = 25,200
Short-Listed (Post I):
A = 65
B = 220
C = 280
D = 85
E = 120
F = 325
G = 550
Total Short-Listed = 65 + 220 + 280 + 85 + 120 + 325 + 550 = 1,645
Final Calculation:
Percentage = (1645 ÷ 25200) × 100 ≈ 6.5%
Final Answer: 6.5%
