Question

In air examination 96% candidate passed 50 fail how many candidate appeared in the examination

Answer 1

Passed candidates :96%

Failed candidates: 100%-96%= 4%

so 4% of the no. of candidates is 50

so ,

$\frac{4}{100} \times no.ofcandidates = 50$

Let x be no. of candidates

$\frac{100 \times 50}{4} = x \\ x = 12500$

Answer : 12500

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :-

In an examination hall 96% of candidates passed and 50 failed.

To Find :-

How many candidates appeared for the exam.

Solution :-

Let, the number of candidates prepared for the exam be x

Number of candidates failed = 50

And, the percentage of candidates passed = 96%

Then, number of candidates failed = 100% - 96% = 4%

According to the question,

⇒ 4/100 × x = 50

⇒ x = 50 × 100/4

⇒ x = 5000/4

➠ x = 1250

∴ The number of candidates prepared for the exam is 1250.

VERIFICATION :-

↦ 4/100 × x = 50

By putting x = 1250 we get,

↦ 4/100 × 1250 = 50

↦ 1250 = 50 × 100/4

↦ 1250 = 5000/4

↦ 1250 = 1250

➦ LHS = RHS
