    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Let number of students in first school = x ⇒(60 x)/100 + 30 = x   ⇒x – (60 x)/100 = 30   ⇒  (40 x)/100  = 30⇒ x = 75   ∴  Number of passed students = 75 -30 = 45 Number of students in second school = 75 + 25 = 100 Number of passed students = 45 + 20 = 65 ∴ Pass percentage of the latter school = 65%
