In a competitive examination held in 2000, a total of 6,00,000 students appeared and 40 percent passed. Forty percent of the total students were females and the rest were males. The pass percentage among the males was 50 percent. Find the pass percentage among the females.
A25% ✓ Correct
B30%
C35%
D40%
Correct answer: (A) 25%
Explanation
The female pass percentage is 25%.
Total appeared = 600000; total passed = 40% = 240000.
Females = 40% of 600000 = 240000; males = 360000.
Male passes = 50% of 360000 = 180000.
Female passes = 240000 - 180000 = 60000.
Female pass % = 60000 / 240000 x 100 = 25%.
