(b)H.P.
(c)U.P.

(e)Haryana
Answer
Answer (as printed): A
Explanation
Average number of candidates per year from various states are $$\begin{aligned} & \text { Delhi } \rightarrow \frac{(94+48+82+90+70)}{5}=\frac{384}{5}=76.8 \\ & \text { H.P. } \rightarrow \frac{(82+65+70+86+75)}{5}=\frac{378}{5}=75.6 \\ & \text { U.P. } \rightarrow \frac{(78+85+48+70+80)}{5}=\frac{361}{5}=72.2 \\ & \text { Punjab } \rightarrow \frac{(85+70+65+84+60)}{5}=\frac{364}{5}=72.8 \\ & \text { Haryana } \rightarrow \frac{(75+75+55+60+75)}{5}=\frac{340}{5}=68 \end{aligned}$$ Clearly, this average is maximum for Delhi.
