Question:
What is the total count of the least number of auditionees who had cleared the first round of ‘Dadagiri’ in the areas of Dumdum and Shyambazar ?
340
388
420
540
The total number of auditionees who failed in the seven rounds must be the minimum number of people who auditioned for the first round.
Hence the minimum number of auditionees for the first round in Dumdum = 64+50+48+40+34+26+20 = 282
Hence the minimum number of auditionees who cleared the first round in Dumdum = 282 – 64 = 218
Similarly the minimum number of auditionees for the first round in Shyambazar = 56+52+56+38+28+20+8 = 258
Hence the minimum of auditionees who cleared the first round in Shyambazar = 258 – 56 = 202
Hence the total count of the least number of auditionees who had cleared the first round of ‘Dadagiri’ in the area of Dumdum and Shyambazar = 218 + 202 = 420
