Since 240 people auditioned for the first round of ‘Dadagiri in Ballygunge’, the number of passes in each round of the audition in Ballygunge are as follows :

First round = 240 – 42 = 198 

Second round = 198 – 58 = 140

Third round = 140 – 34 = 106

Fourth round = 106 – 42 = 64

Fifth round = 64 – 30 = 34

Sixth round = 34 – 10 = 24

Seventh round = 24 – 14 = 10

Hence the ratio of the pass percentages of the seven rounds in order will be 

= 198/240 : 140/198 : 106/140 : 64/106 : 34/64 : 24/34 : 10/24

= 0.82 : 0.71 : 0.76 : 0.60 : 0.53 : 0.71 : 0.42

that is, highest : third highest : second highest : fifth highest : sixth highest : third highest : seventh highest in rank respectively

Hence, the round in which the percentage of passes in the auditions of ‘Dadagiri’ in Ballygunge area was the fifth highest in rank is the Fourth round.
