• [(6/100)*x ]+80 = (7/100)*x
  80= 7x/100-6x/100
  80=x/100
  x=8000

• According to question, 1% of the total appeared =80
  
  Since 7% for B= 6% for A+ 80
  
  Hence total students appeared = 8000

• 8000
  (6/100)x=y;
  (7/100)x=y+80;
  if we solve these 2 eqns we get x=8000.

• (b)8000
  difference in %=7-6=1%
  1%=80candidates
  =>100%=8000 candidates from each state

• B.8000
  6x/100+80=7x/100
  x=8000

• let total candidates be x.
  Then selected candidate from state A = 0.06x
  selected candidates from state B = 0.07x
  
  Now 0.07x = 0.06x+80
  which makes x=8000
