Answer:
54.5% is the percentage of the failed candidates.
Step-by-step explanation:
No of boys appeared for the examination = 1100 boys
No of girls appeared for the examination = 900 girls
No of boys that passed the examination = 50/100 * 1100 = 550 boys
No of girls that passed the examination = 40/100 * 900= 360 girls
Total number of students that appeared for the examination = 900 + 1100 = 2000
Total number of students that passed the examination = 550 + 360 = 910 students
Percentage of candidates who failed the examination = (2000-910) / (2000) * (100)
=> 1090/2000 * 100
=> 109/2
∴ 54.5% is the percentage of the failed candidates.
