Answer 1

Answer:

C. 1275

GIVEN:

Total number of student appeared = 1500

Percentage of student failed = 15%

FORMULAE USED:

Number of passed student = number of student appeared – number of student failed

Number of failed student $=\frac{15}{100}\times{1500}=225 students$

Number of passed student = 1500 – 225 = 1275 students
