Question

POSSIBLE POINTS: 20

Answer 1

The correct option is A. It can be solved by the concept of ratio and proportion.

What is ratio?

It is the way of representation of a quantity relative to the other quantity. Its symbol is :. For example size of 2 relative to 5 is represented by 2:5 or 2/5.

Total number of applicantas = 9

Accepted applicants             = 2

Not accepted applicants      = 9-2 = 7

Take the ratio of accepted to the not accepted applicants = 2/7

Now, if new not accepted applicants are x then accepted applicants are 360. To keep the ratio constant, the following equation must be satisfied:

$\frac{2}{7}=\frac{360}{x}\\x=\frac{7}{2}\times 360\\x=1260$

Hence, the correct option is A. It can be solved by the concept of ratio and proportion.
