    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.
