In an examination 86 % of the candidates passed and 224 failed. How many candidates appeared for the exam ?
A800
B1540
C1600
D3136
Answer:
C. 1600
Read Explanation:
Let the total number of candidates be x.
The number of candidates passed = 86/100 × x = 86x/100
The number of candidates failed = x - 86x/100 = 14x/100
14x/100 = 224
x = 1600
The candidates appeared for the exam is 1600.
