Asst PESSI LHRD-21
Total students in four classes = 10+20+30+40 = 100
Number of pass students in first class = 10 x 20 / 100 = 2
Number of pass students in second class = 20 x 30 / 100 = 6
Number of pass students in third class = 30 x 60 / 100 = 18
Number of pass students in fourth class = 40 x 100 / 100 = 40
The number of pass students are 2+6+18+40 = 66 out of total of 100.
Hence, 66 / 100 x 100 = 66%.

D. 52%
Asst S&GAD-20
Let the number of girls = x
So the number of boys = 2x
Total students = x + 2x = 3x
Percentage of boys failed = 30%
Number of boys failed = 0.3 × 2x = 0.6x
Percentage of girls failed = 45%
Number of girls failed = 0.45 × x = 0.45x
Total students failed = 0.6x + 0.45x = 1.05x
Total students passed = 3x – 1.05x = 1.95x
Percentage of passed students = 1.95x ÷ 3x × 100
= 0.65 × 100 = 65%
