1. Study the given table carefully and answer the question that follow:
Number of candidates appeared and qualified for a test (in hundreds) in 6 different years from 5 different zones.
Here App. means Appeared and Qual. Means qualified.
From which zone was the total number of candidates who qualified the test, the second highest in the year?
P → (4.8 + 5.6) = 10.4
Q → (5.2 + 6.4) = 11.6
R → (6.8 + 7.4) = 14.2
S → (5.2 + 11.4) = 16.6
T → (6.9 + 9.4) = 16.3
