1. In an army selection process, the ratio of selected to unselected was 5:1. If 100 less had applied and 20 less selected, the ratio of selected to unselected would have been 6:1. How many candidates had applied for the process?

Let $$6x$$ candidates applied for the process. Candidates selected = $$5x$$ and candidates not selected = $$x$$ If candidates applied = $$6x - 100$$ Candidates selected = $$5x - 20$$ => Candidates not selected = $$(6x - 100) - (5x - 20) = x - 80$$ According to ques, => $$frac{5x - 20}{x - 80} = frac{6}{1}$$ => $$5x - 20 = 6x - 480$$ => $$x = 480 - 20 = 460$$ $$ herefore$$ Number of candidates who applied for the process = $$6 imes 460 = 2760$$ => Ans - (B)
