  1. How many students are studying in university E?

    1. 6025
    2. 5820
    3. 6250
    4. 5525


Answer: (c) 6250

Solution: The total number of undergraduate-level students is studying at university E.$$ = \left[\frac{20}{100} \times 18500\right] $$ $$ = 3700 $$ The total number of graduate-level students is studying at university E.$$ = \left[\frac{17}{100} \times 15000\right] $$ $$ = 2550 $$ Hence the total number of students is studying at university E.$$ = 3700 + 2550 $$ $$ = 6250 $$

  1. How many students of university D and F are studying at the undergraduate level?

    1. 4010
    2. 4070
    3. 4110
    4. 4190


Answer: (b) 4070

Solution: The total number of students in university D is studying at the undergraduate level. $$ = \left[\frac{10}{100} \times 18500\right] $$ $$ = 1850 $$ The total number of students at university F are studying at the undergraduate level. $$ = \left[\frac{12}{100} \times 18500\right] $$ $$ = 2220 $$ Hence the total number of students in universities D and F are studying at the undergraduate level.$$ = 1850 + 2220 $$ $$ = 4070 $$

  1. What is the total number of under-graduate level students in university A and graduate-level students in university C?

    1. 6400
    2. 6250
    3. 6220
    4. 6170


Answer: (a) 6400

Solution: The total number of under-graduate level students in university A.$$ = \left[\frac{20}{100} \times 18500\right] $$ $$ = 3700 $$ The total number of graduate-level students in university C.$$ = \left[\frac{18}{100} \times 15000\right] $$ $$ = 2700 $$ Hence required total. $$ = 3700 + 2700 $$ $$ = 6400 $$

  1. What is the ratio between the number of students studying at the graduate level in university D and the number of students studying at the under-graduate level in the same university?

    1. 72 : 37
    2. 77 : 34
    3. 79 : 39
    4. 83 : 43


Answer: (a) 72 : 37

Solution: The total number of students studying at the graduate level in university D. $$ = \left[\frac{24}{100} \times 15000\right] $$ $$ = 3600 $$ The total number of students studying at the under-graduate level in university D. $$ = \left[\frac{10}{100} \times 18500\right] $$ $$ = 1850 $$ Hence the required ratio. $$ = \frac{3600}{1850} $$ $$ = \frac{72}{37} $$ $$ = 72 : 37 $$

  1. What is the ratio between the number of students studying at the graduate level in university F and the number of students studying at the under-graduate level in university B?

    1. 127 : 134
    2. 137 : 151
    3. 135 : 148
    4. 143 : 153


Answer: (c) 135 : 148

Solution: The total number of students studying at the graduate level in university F. $$ = \left[\frac{18}{100} \times 15000\right] $$ $$ = 2700 $$ The total number of students studying at the under-graduate level in university B. $$ = \left[\frac{16}{100} \times 18500\right] $$ $$ = 2960 $$ Hence the required ratio. $$ = \frac{2700}{2960} $$ $$ = \frac{135}{148} $$ $$ = 135 : 148 $$
