Let the number of people who auditioned for the first round of ‘Dadagiri’ in Behala be x

Hence the number of auditionees who passed the fifth round in Behala = x – (76+64+50+42+34) = (x – 266)

The number of auditionees who got selected in the final round in Behala = x – (266+36+22) = (x – 324)

Hence, 

(x – 266) = 2*(x – 324) 

or, x = 648 – 266 

or, x = 382

Hence, the number of people who auditioned for the first round of ‘Dadagiri’ in Behala = 382
