Let the number of people who auditioned for the first round of ‘Dadagiri’ in Dumdum and Salt Lake be x and y respectively

Hence the number of auditionees who got selected in the final round in Dumdum and Salt Lake respectively

= x – (64+50+48+40+34+26+20) and y – (86+74+52+38+42+26+18) 

= (x – 282) and (y – 336)

Since both the values are equal,

(x – 282) = (y – 336) 

or, (y – x) = 54

The number of auditionees who passed the second round of ‘Dadagiri’ in Dumdum and Salt Lake respectively 

= x – (64+50) and y – (86+74) 

= (x – 114) and (y – 160)

Hence, the difference between those who passed the second round of ‘Dadagiri’ in both the areas 

= (y – 160) – (x – 114) 

= (y – x) + (124 – 160) 

= (y – x) – 46 

= 54 – 46 

= 8
