Answer 1

600 candidate are appeared in the examination.

Answer 2

Answer:

600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total students be x

We are given that 74%of the candidates passed

So, students failed = 100%-74%= 26%

Since we are given that 156 students failed.

So, $26\% \times x = 156$

$\frac{26}{100} \times x = 156$

$x = 156\times \frac{100}{26}$

$x = 600$

Hence the total number of students appeared in examinations is 600
