Answer:
[tex]SOLUTION:-[/tex]
[tex] \rm{passed \: percent = { \displaystyle{33 \frac{1}{3} \%} = \frac{100}{3}\% }}[/tex]
[tex]{ \displaystyle{ \rm{failed \: percent = \left( 100 - \frac{100}{3} \right)}\%}}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle{ \frac{3 \times 100 - 100}{3}\% }[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle{ \frac{200}{3}\% }[/tex]
Let,x be the total number of examinees:-
We have,
[tex]\displaystyle{ \frac{200}{3}\% \: \rm{of \: x = 240} }[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle{ \frac{200}{3} \times \frac{1}{100} \rm \: x = 240}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle{ \rm{x = \frac{240 \times 3 \times 100}{200} }}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle{ \rm{x = 360}}[/tex]
Hence,required number of examinees = 360 .
