Solution

The correct option is B 60
Total number of aspirants appeared in the exam = 200
Let number of failed candidates = x
Number of passed candidates = 200 – x
Now according to the question we get,
200 × 39 = 30x + 60(200-x)
Or 20 × 39 = 3x + 6(200 – x)
Or 780 = 3x + 1200 – 6x
Or 3x = 420
Or x = 140
Number of passed candidates = 200 – x = 200 – 140 = 60
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

परीक्षा में सम्मिलित होने वाले उम्मीदवारों की कुल संख्या = 200
माना कि अनुत्तीर्ण उम्मीदवारों की संख्या = x
उत्तीर्ण उम्मीदवारों की संख्या = 200 – x
अब प्रश्नानुसार हम पाते हैं, 200 × 39 = 30x + 60(200 – x)
या, 20 × 39 = 3x + 6(200 – x)
या, 780 = 3x + 1200 – 6x
या, 3x = 420
या x = 140
उत्तीर्ण उम्मीदवारों की संख्या = 200 – x = 200 – 140 = 60
अतः, विकल्प (b) सही उत्तर है।
