Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Candidates passed from the institutes Q and R together = [13%+17%] of 5700 = 30% of 5700
Candidates enrolled from the institutes Q and R together = [15%+10%] of 8550 = 25% of 8550
\begin{aligned}
\text{Required Percentage =}\\
\left(\frac{\text{30% of 5700}}{\text{25% of 8550}}*100\right) \% \\
= \left(\frac{30 * 5700}{25 * 8550}*100\right) \% \\
= 80 \%
\end{aligned}
