Question

The number of girls appearing for an admission test is twice the number of boys. If 30% of the girls and 45% of the boys get admission, the percentage of candidates who do not get admission is

• A. 35
• B. 50
• C. 60
• D. 65

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

65

Answer 2

Consider the count of boys taking the admission test as 'b.'
Admission rate as a percentage
=$\frac{\frac{30}{100}(2b)+\frac{45}{100}(b)}{2b+b}(100)\%=35\%$
65% of the candidates do not get admission.
