A candidate should score more than the cut-off marks for English to be evaluated for LR. If the cut-off marks for English is 40%, then how many answer sheets will be evaluated for LR?

A.

8880

B.

7191

C.

10000

D.

8522

Correct option is B

Given:

Total candidates = 10,000

The cut-off marks for English are 40%, which corresponds to 80 marks (since the score range for each subject is 0 – 200).

We need to find the number of candidates who scored more than 80 marks in English.

The candidates who scored above the cut-off will be evaluated for LR.

Solution:

Candidates who scored more than 80 marks in English are those in the 81 - 120, 121 - 160, and 161 - 200 score intervals.

Total candidates evaluated for LR = Candidates in the score intervals 81 − 120 , 121 − 160 , 161 − 200

Number of candidates in the 81 - 120 interval = 3562

Number of candidates in the 121 - 160 interval = 2412

Number of candidates in the 161 - 200 interval = 1217

Total candidates evaluated for LR = 3562 + 2412 + 1217 = 7191

7191 answer sheets will be evaluated for LR.
