1100 boys and 700 girls are examined in a test; 42% of the boys and 30% of the girls pass. The percentage of the total who failed is :
A. $$58\% $$
B. $$62\frac{2}{3}\% $$
C. $$64\% $$
D. $$78\% $$
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Total number of students := 1100 + 700
= 1800
Number of students passed :
= (42% of 1100 + 30% of 700)
= (462 + 210)
= 672
Number of failures :
= 1800 - 672
= 1128
∴ Percentage failure :
= $$\left( {\frac{{1128}}{{1800}} \times 100} \right)\% $$
= $$62\frac{2}{3}\% $$
