Question

How many candidates failed because of having failed in four or less subjects ?

• A. $4815$
• B. $4453$
• C. $3618$
• D. $2368$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$4453$

Candidates failed in four or less subjects = (Candidates failed in only 1 subject) + (Candidates failed in only 2 subjects) + (Candidates failed in only 3 subjects) + (Candidates failed in only 4 subjects)

= (Candidates failed in only 1 subject) + (Candidates failed in only 3 subjects) + (Candidates passed in only 2 subjects) + (Candidates passed in only 1 subject)
$=(78+275+149+147+221)+1498+1250+835=4453$

Hence, option (B) is the correct answer.
