Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
Let the number of failed student = Y
∴ Number of passed student = 80 - Y
sum of marks of all students = sum of marks of passed students + sum of marks of failed students
80 x 40 = (80 - Y) x 60 + 35Y
⇒ 3200 =4800 - 60Y + 35Y
⇒ 25Y = 1600
∴ Y = 64
∴ Number of students who failed = 64
