Question:

In a class of 1500 students, the percentage of girls is 30%. If 80% of the boys failed the examination, find the number of boys who passed in the examination.

Options:

630

210

550

840

Correct Answer:

210

Explanation:

70% = \(\frac{7}{10}\) & 20% = \(\frac{1}{5}\) 

Number of boys  = 70% of 1500

= \(\frac{7}{10}\) × 1500 = 1050

As , 80% of boys failed the examination

Number of Passed boys = 20% of 1050

=  \(\frac{1}{5}\) × 1050

= 210
