Solution

Pass $% = 68 %$
failure $= 113984$
Fail $% = 100 - 68 = 32 %$
Let total number of students be $x$
$32 %$ of $x = 113984$
$\frac{32}{100} \times x = 113984$
$\Rightarrow x = 113984 \times \frac{100}{32} = 3, 56, 200 ‬$
$∴ 3, 56, 200 ‬$ students appeared for the examination.

In the class $X t h$ board examination, the pass percentage was $68 %$ . If the number of failures was $1, 13, 984$ . Find the total number of children who appeared for the examination.

Pass $% = 68 %$
failure $= 113984$
Fail $% = 100 - 68 = 32 %$
Let total number of students be $x$
$32 %$ of $x = 113984$
$\frac{32}{100} \times x = 113984$
$\Rightarrow x = 113984 \times \frac{100}{32} = 3, 56, 200 ‬$
$∴ 3, 56, 200 ‬$ students appeared for the examination.
