Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

65

Solution :

Correct Option: D

Let the number of boys appearing for the admission test be B=100.

Since the number of girls is twice the number of boys, the number of girls is:
G=2×100=200

The total number of candidates is:
Total=100+200=300

Now, calculate the number of candidates who get admission:

  • Number of girls getting admission = 30% of 200=60
  • Number of boys getting admission = 45% of 100=45

Total candidates who get admission = 60+45=105.

The number of candidates who do not get admission is:
300105=195

The percentage of candidates who do not get admission is:
195300×100%=65%
