In an examination, the number of students who passed and the number of those who failed were in the ratio of 25 : 4 respectively. If five more had appeared and the number of failures was 2 less than earlier, the ratio of passed to failed would have been 22 : 3. What is the number of students who appeared for the examination ?

A) 145
B) 150
C) 155
D) 180
E) 190

Correct Answer:

A) 145

Description for Correct answer:
Let the number of students who passed = 25x

The number of students who failed = 4x

According to question,

\( \Large \dfrac{25x+5+2}{4x-2} = \dfrac{22}{3} \)

\( \Large 75x+21= 88x-44 \)

13x = 65

x = 5

The number of students who appeared for the exam =29x5 =145
