Answer 1

Answer: 2000

Step-by-step explanation: Total number of examinees= x

                                              Percentage of failures= 100%-75%= 25%

                                              No. of students failed= 500

                                               25%*x = 500

                                               25/100*x=500

                                                x= 500*100/25

                                                x= 2000

                                                Thersore, total no of examinees are 2000.
