What is the average number of candidates who appeared for an interview in the year 2016 for admission to all the five engineering disciplines?
- A.
1216
- B.
1314
- C.
1316
- D.
1246
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
To find the average number of candidates who appeared for an interview in the year 2016 across all five engineering disciplines, we follow these steps:
Calculation Steps
Extract the 'I' (Appeared) values for 2016:
Chemical: 1108
Civil: 1860
Aerospace: 1132
Petroleum: 870
Electrical: 1260
Calculate the Total Sum:
Sum = 1108 + 1860 + 1132 + 870 + 1260 = 6230
Calculate the Average:
Average = Total Sum / Number of Disciplines
Average = 6230 / 5 = 1246
