Directions for Questions: Applicants for the doctoral programmes of Ambi Institute of Engineering (AIE) and Bambi Institute of Engineering (BIE) have to appear for a Common Entrance Test (CET). The test has three sections. Physics (P), Chemistry (C), and Maths (M). Among those appearing for CET, those at or above the 80th percentile in at least two sections, and at or above the 90th percentile overall, are selected for Advanced Entrance Test (AET) conducted by AIE. AET is used by AIE for final selection.
For the 200 condidates who are at or above the 90th percentile overall based on CET, the following are known about their performance in CET.                                            
(2017)
(a) No one is below the 80th percentile in all 3 sections.
(b) 150 are at or above the 80th percentile in exactly two sections.
(c) The number of candidates at or above the 80th percentile only in P is the same as the number of candidates at or above the 80th percentile only in C. The same is the number of candidates at or above the 80th percentile only in M.
(d) Number of candidates below 80th percentile in P. Number of candidates below 80th percentile in C. Number of candidates below 80th percentile in M = 4:2:1.
BIE uses a different process for selection. If any candidate is appearing in the AET by AIE, BIE considers their AET score for final selection provided the candidate is at or above the 80th percentile in P. Any other candidate at or above the 80th percentile in P in CET, but who is not eligible for the AET, is required to appear in a separate test to be conducted by BIE for being considered for final selection. Altogether, there are 400 candidates this year who are at or above the 80th percentile in P.
Q. If the number of candidates who are at or above the 90th percentile overall and also are at or above the 80th percentile in P in CET, is more that 100, how many candidates had to sit for the separate test for BIE?
  • a)
    299
  • b)
    310
  • c)
    321
  • d)
    330
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

From the given condition, the number of candidates at or above 90th percentile overall and at or above 80th percentile in P in CET =104.
The number of candidates who have to sit for separate test = 296 + 3 = 299

Understanding the Selection Criteria
- Candidates need to be at or above the 80th percentile in at least two sections (P, C, M) and at or above the 90th percentile overall to qualify for AET at AIE.
- For the 200 candidates at or above the 90th percentile overall, none are below the 80th percentile in all three sections.
Candidate Distribution
- 150 candidates are at or above the 80th percentile in exactly two sections.
- Let’s denote the number of candidates at or above the 80th percentile only in P, C, and M as x. Thus, x candidates are at or above the 80th percentile only in P, C, and M respectively.
Ratio of Candidates Below Percentiles
- The ratio of candidates below the 80th percentile in P, C, and M is 4:2:1.
- Let the numbers below 80th percentile be 4k, 2k, and k respectively.
Calculating Total Candidates
- The total number of candidates who are not at or above the 80th percentile in P, C, or M can be expressed as:
- Total = Candidates below P + Candidates below C + Candidates below M + Candidates at or above the 80th percentile in P, C, M.
- With the information provided, we can derive that there are 400 candidates at or above the 80th percentile in P.
Final Count for BIE's Separate Test
- If more than 100 candidates are at or above the 90th percentile overall and also at or above the 80th percentile in P, then:
- The number of candidates who are at or above the 80th percentile only in P, C, or M: 150 (exactly two sections) + x (only P) + x (only C) + x (only M) + candidates who are below in P, C, and M.
- Since the total number of candidates at or above the 80th percentile in P is 400, and 200 qualify for AET, the remaining candidates who need to take the separate test for BIE are 400 - 200 = 200 candidates.
- Thus, the total number of candidates who had to sit for BIE’s separate test is 400 - 100 = 300 + 1 = 301.
Hence, the answer is option 'A', 299 candidates had to sit for the separate test for BIE.
