The given table shows the number of candidates who have appeared, qualified and been selected in an examination from two states A and B over the years 2001 to 2005.

Year	State A			State B
	Applied	Qualified	Selected	Applied	Qualified	Selected
2001	8000	850	94	8200	680	85
2002	4800	500	48	6800	600	70
2003	7500	640	82	6500	525	65
2004	9500	850	90	7800	720	84
2005	9000	800	70	5700	485	60

In the year 2001, the percentage of candidates who were selected over the candidates who applied in State A is:

The correct answer is 1.175%.

Step-by-step Explanation:

From the given table, we look at the data for State A in the year 2001:

• Number of candidates who applied in State A (2001) = 8000
• Number of candidates who were selected in State A (2001) = 94

We need to find the percentage of candidates selected over the candidates who applied in State A for the year 2001.

The formula to calculate this percentage is:

$\text{Percentage}=\left(\frac{\text{Number of Selected Candidates}}{\text{Number of Applied Candidates}}\right)\times 100$

Substituting the values into the formula:

$\text{Percentage}=\left(\frac{94}{8000}\right)\times 100$

Simplifying the calculation:

$\text{Percentage}=\frac{94}{80}=1.175\%$

Thus, the percentage of candidates who were selected over the candidates who applied in State A in the year 2001 is 1.175%.
