The number of candidates appearing for the exam showed a consistent increase only in state capitals, while the number of students passing fluctuated, with both increases and decreases across all communities.
So, the correct option is (D): None of these.
Ratio of passed to appeared candidates from semi-urban area in 1991,
\(=\frac {2933}{8562} = 0.3425\)
Ratio of passed to appeared candidates from semi-urban area in 1993,
\(=\frac {3528}{9432} =0.3740\)
Ratio of passed to appeared candidates from semi-urban area in 1990,
\(=\frac {2513}{7894} =0.3183\)
Ratio of passed to appeared candidates from semi-urban area in 1992,
\(=\frac {2468}{8139} = 0.3032\) (Minimum)
So, the correct option is (D): 1992.
Percentage drop in the number of semi-urban candidates appeared from year \(1991\) to \(1992\),
\(= \frac {8562-8139}{8562} \times 100\)
\(= \frac {423}{8562}\)
\(= 5\%\)
So, the correct option is (A): \(5\).
Percentage of candidates passed in Rural \(= \frac {1798}{5032} \times 100 = 35.73\%\)
Percentage of candidates passed in Semi urban \(= \frac {3528}{9432} \times 100 = 37.4\%\)
In rural area, approx \(35\%\) candidates passed in \(1993\).
So, the correct option is (A): Rural.
The total number of candidates who passed from Rural areas in \(1993\) and Semi-urban areas in \(1990\),
\(= 1798 + 2513\)
\(= 4311\)
Now, \(4311\) candidates passed from the state capital in \(1994\).
So, the correct option is (C): \(1994\).
