Question
In an examination, there were 2,000 candidates, out of which 900 candidates were girls and rest were Boys. If 38% of the boys and 32% of the girls passed, then the total percentage of failed candidates isa.None of theseb.35.6%c.64.7%d.68.5%
Solution
First, let's find out the number of boys and girls who passed the exam.
The total number of candidates is 2000, out of which 900 are girls. So, the number of boys is 2000 - 900 = 1100.
If 38% of the boys passed, then the number of boys who passed is 38/100 * 1100 = 418.
If 32% of the girls passed, then the number of girls who passed is 32/100 * 900 = 288.
So, the total number of candidates who passed is 418 (boys) + 288 (girls) = 706.
Therefore, the number of candidates who failed is 2000 (total candidates) - 706 (passed candidates) = 1294.
The percentage of candidates who failed is (1294/2000) * 100 = 64.7%.
So, the answer is c. 64.7%.
