Solution

Let's denote the number of candidates appeared from each state as X.

According to the problem, 6% of candidates from State A got selected, so the number of selected candidates from State A is 0.06X.

State B had 7% candidates got selected, which is 0.07X. But we know that 80 more candidates got selected from State B than from State A. So we can write the equation as follows:

0.07X = 0.06X + 80

Solving this equation will give us the number of candidates appeared from each state.

0.07X - 0.06X = 80 0.01X = 80 X = 80 / 0.01 X = 8000

So, the number of candidates appeared from each state is 8000. Therefore, the answer is (a) 8000.
