1100 boys and 700 girls are examined in a test; 42% of the boys and 30% of the girls pass. The percentage of the total who failed is :
Correct Answer: Option B
Total number of students = 1100 + 700 = 1800.
Number of students passed = (42% of 1100 + 30% of 700) - (462 + 210) = 672.
Number of failues = 1800-672 = 1128.
Percentage failure = (1128 \(\div\) 1800 \(\times\) 100 )% = 41.3%
