Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 1.41​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

Number of candidates in city D = 2.35 lakh

Ratio of passed and failed students in city D = 4 : 6 = 2 : 3

Number of failed candidates = 3x/5x × 2.35 lakh

⇒ 3/5 × 2.35 = 1.41 lakh
