Answer 1

156/26=6 so 6*100=600 so 600 is the answer for this question

Answer 2

Number of candidate appeared in the examination is 600.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Percentage of student who passed the exam = 74%

Since total percentage of candidate appeared in the exam = 100%

Percentage of student who failed the exam = 100%-74%

                                                                         =26%

According ot question ,

26% of total student appeared in the exam= 156

1% of total student who appeared in the exam = $\frac{156}{26}$

Total number of student who appeared in the exam = $\frac{156}{26}\times 100$

                                                                                       = 600

Hence,Number of candidate appeared in the examination is 600.
