Question

In an examination, 400 students appeared. 25% got first division, 45% got second division, and the remaining just passed. Assuming no student failed, how many students just passed?

Options

• 100

• 120

• 140

• 160

Answer 1

120

Explanation:

Total students = 400.

Percentage who got first or second division = 25% + 45% = 70%

Remaining students just passed: 100% − 70% = 30% 

So, students who just passed = 30% of 400 = `30/100` × 400 = 120
