Correct Answer - Option 2 : 35%
Given:
120 candidates appeared for an examination of which 78 passed.
Formula used:
Percentage = (value/Total value)× 100
Calculation:
120 candidates appeared for an examination of which 78 passed.
Failed candidates = Appeared candidates – passed candidates
⇒ 120 – 78
⇒ 42
Percentage of the failed candidates
⇒ (42/120)× 100
⇒ 35%
∴ The failed percentage is 35%.
