Options:

80%

82%

78%

78.5%

Correct Answer:

78.5%

Explanation:

Let Total number of students = 2800

Number of girls students = 35% of 2800= 980

Number of Boys students = 2800 - 980 = 1820

Number of passed Girls = 85% of 980 = 833

Number of passed Boys = 75% of 1820 =  1365

According to question ,

Total passed students = 1365 + 833 = 2198

Percentage of passed students = \(\frac{2198}{2800}\) × 100

= 78.5%
