An army’s recruitment process included N rounds of selection tasks. For the first A rounds, the rejection percentage was 60 percent per round. For the next B rounds, the rejection percentage was 50 percent per round and for the remaining rounds, the selection percentage was 70 percent per round. If there were 100000 people who applied for the army and 175 were finally selected, what was the value of N?  Choose the correct choice.
A) 4  B) 9  C) 6  D) 8  E) 10

Rationale: "fastly i reduce 60 % till it gets closer to our required 2000 candidates step ( 1 ) 40000 accepted . step ( 2 ) another 40 % of 40000 = 16000 accepted . here it is quiet observable that if we further deduct candidate by 60 % it would change our probablity of easy going 2000 candidate . so i would get to second stage of recruitment where 50 % is accepted step ( 3 ) 50 % of 16000 = 8000 step ( 4 ) 50 % of 8000 = 4000 step ( 5 ) 50 % of 4000 = 2000 step ( 6 ) 50 % of 2000 = 1000 step ( 7 ) 50 % of 1000 = 500 step ( 8 ) 50 % of 500 = 250 step ( 9 ) 70 % of 350 = 175 ( our target ) total 9 steps required . ans b"
