In an examination, 96% of the students passed and 500 students failed. How many students appeared in the examination?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Passed students = 96% of total number of students
Failed students = 4% of total number of students.
According to question,
4% of total number of students = 500
Total number of students = \(\frac{500}{4}\) x 100
= 12,500
