Question

In a examination 95% of the candidates passed and 60 candidates failed. How many candidates appeared?

Answer 1

Answer:

1200 Candidates appeared

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x candidates appeared in the examination.

Candidates passed = 95%

∴ Candidates failed = 100% - 95% = 5%

But, given that 60 candidates failed

∴ 5% of Appeared Candidates = 60

(5/100) × x = 60

x = (60 × 100)/5

x = 1200

∴ 1200 candidates appeared in the examination.
