Answer 2

Answer:

Total number of student = 1500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of student be x.

96% of the total student passed in an exam

This means 4% of the total student failed in an exam

According to the question,

4% of the total student = 60

4% of x = 60

4/100 * x = 60

x = 60 * 100/4

On solving, we get

x = 1500

Total number of student = 1500
