What is the total number of graduates who appeared for both CS and ES together in the year 2022?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 2,01,300.

Number of graduates appear in CS in 2022 = 120000 × 80% = 96000

Number of graduates appear in ES in 2022 = 135000 × 78% = 105300

Hence, total number of graduates = 96000 + 105300 = 201300
