State A and State B had an equal number of candidates appeared.
In state A, 6% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates
In state B, 7% candidates got selected from the total appeared candidates
But in State B, 81 more candidates got selected than State A
From these, it is clear that 1% of the total appeared candidates in State B = 81
