In an examination 73% of the candidates passed in quantitative aptitude test, 70% passed in General awareness and 64% passed in both. If 6300 failed in both subjects the total number of examinees were?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 30000.
Total passed % = 73% + 70% - 64% = 79%
Failed % =(100-79)% = 21%
⇒ 21% = 6300
⇒ 1% = 6300/21
⇒ 100% = (6300/21) × 100 = 30000
Hence there were 30000 examinees
