Find out how many candidates appeared at the examination? Correct Answer 1200
Passed in none = 5% Passed in all = 5%Passed in four = 20% of 90% = 18%Passed in one = 25% of 90% = 22.5%Passed in two = 24.5%Passed in three = (100 - 5 - 5 - 22.5 - 24.5 - 18) = 25%But given 300 students passed in threeHence, 25% = 300So, 100% = 12001200 students must have appeared
