Option 2 : 261

Given:

Number of students passed : Number of students failed = 25 : 4

Calculation:

Let the number of students passed and failed be 25x and 4x respectively

⇒ Number of students appeared = 25x + 4x = 29x

According to the question,

(29x + 3) / (4x – 3) = 8/1

⇒ 29x + 3 = 32x – 24

⇒ 3x = 27

⇒ x = 9

∴ Actual number of students appeared = 29x = 261
