umber of students​

Answer 1

Answer:

The total no. of students who were present was 7,50,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the pass percentage was 75% then the percentage of failures in the exam was 100%-75%=25%.

The no. of failures given is 1,50,000.

Now,let the total no.of students present in the exam be x.

Since,25% of the students present in the exam had failed and were 1,50,000 in no. Therefore,

=> 25x/100=1,50,000

=> x =(1,50,000×100)/25

=6,00,000 students had passed the exam.

Now,75% of x=6,00,000

and 25% of x=1,50,000

So,the total no.of students who gave the exam was 6,00,000+1,50,000

=7,50,000 answer.
