iv. To opt Mathematics or Astrophysics, a student should have scored at least 70% in the qualifying examination.

Which one of the following alternatives is possible?

पर्याय

• Ninety percent of the applicants are admitted to Physics course.

• Thirty-five percent of the applicants who are otherwise ineligible to join Physics course are admitted to Mathematics and Astrophysics course

• Students of Physics course outnumber those of Mathematics.

• Whoever is eligible to study Mathematics is also eligible to study Physics.

Answer 1

Thirty-five percent of the applicants who are otherwise ineligible to join Physics course are admitted to Mathematics and Astrophysics course

Explanation:

'Thirty-five percent of the applicants who are otherwise ineligible to join Physics course are admitted to Mathematics and Astrophysics course.' is the only possible option. If 35% of those who scored below 75% scored between 75% and 70%,  then they can opt for Mathematics and Astrophysics.
