1000+ Problems on Percentage for Bank Exams - 1
Question: 1
In an examination, there were 2000 candidates, out of which 900 candidates were boys and rest were girls. If 32% of the boys and 38% of the girls passed, then the total percentage of failed candidates is
(A) 64.7%
(B) 68.5%
(C) 70%
(D) 70.4%
Ans: A
Boys = 900, Girls = 1100
Passed = (32% of 900) + (38% of 1100)
= 288 + 418 = 706
Failed = 2000 - 706 = 1294
Failed % = $$({1294}/{2000} × 100)%$$ = 64.7%.

(A) $$88{1}/{3}$$
(B) $$88{2}/{3}$$
(C) $$84{1}/{2}$$
(D) $$84{2}/{3}$$
Ans: B

(A) 40%

Total score of batsman = 110 runs
Score by running between wickets = 110 - 3 boundaries - 8 sixes

∴ Required percentage = $${50} / {110} × 100$$ = $$45{5}/{11}$$%.
