Answer

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the total number of candidates eligible for the posts of Chief Minister (CM), Chief post, and Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA). Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

### Step 1: Identify the total number of candidates
The total number of candidates eligible for election is given as:
- **Total candidates = 20,000**

### Step 2: Calculate the number of candidates eligible for the CM post
We know that 15% of the total candidates are eligible for the CM post.
- **CM candidates = 15% of 20,000**
- **CM candidates = (15/100) * 20,000**
- **CM candidates = 3,000**

### Step 3: Calculate the number of candidates eligible for the Chief post
Next, we find out how many candidates are eligible for the Chief post, which is 25% of the total candidates.
- **Chief candidates = 25% of 20,000**
- **Chief candidates = (25/100) * 20,000**
- **Chief candidates = 5,000**

### Step 4: Identify the number of candidates eligible for the MLA post
It is given that 3,500 candidates have work experience in rural areas and are eligible for the MLA post.
- **MLA candidates = 3,500**

### Step 5: Calculate the total number of candidates eligible for CM, Chief post, and MLA
Now, we add the number of candidates eligible for each of these posts together:
- **Total eligible candidates = CM candidates + Chief candidates + MLA candidates**
- **Total eligible candidates = 3,000 + 5,000 + 3,500**
- **Total eligible candidates = 11,500**

### Conclusion
The total number of candidates who are eligible for the post of CM, Chief post, and MLA together is **11,500**.
