Solution

The problem involves a ratio of appeared to successful students, which is 7:3. This means that for every 7 students that appeared, 3 were successful.

The total number of students that appeared is given as 343.

To find out how many students were successful, we need to understand that the number 343 represents the '7' part of the ratio.

So, to find the value representing the '3' part of the ratio (the successful students), we do the following:

  1. Divide the total number of students by the 'appeared' part of the ratio: 343 / 7 = 49. This gives us the value of '1' part of the ratio.

  2. Multiply this value by the 'successful' part of the ratio: 49 * 3 = 147.

So, 147 students got through the test. The correct answer is 147.
