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
