Answer 2

Answer:

1900 candidates appeared in the examination

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In an examination 94% of the candidates passed and 114 failed

To Find :how many candidates appeared in the examination

Solution:

Let x be the number of candidates appeared in the exam.

Now we are given that 94% of the candidates passed

So, Failed candidate = 100%-94% = 6%

We are given that 114 failed

So, $6\% \times x = 114$

$\frac{6}{100}\times x = 114$

$x = 114 \times \frac{100}{6}$

$x =1900$

Hence 1900 candidates appeared in the examination
