Let total no. of examiners be x.
Given,
65% of total are passed = 65% of x
Passed = 65x / 100 = 13x / 20
Also, Failed = 420
we know,
Total examiners = Passes + Failed
x = ( 13x / 20 ) + 420
420 = x - ( 13x / 20 )
420 = 20x - 13x / 20
420 * 20 = 7 x
x = 420 * 20 / 7
x = 60 * 20 = 1200
Hence, total no. of examiners are 1200
