CORRECT ANSWER : 60.4%

Discussion Board
To find the total percentage of candidates who failed to clear the exam

Total candidates are 1500
boys 900
remaining girls 1500-900 = 600

34% boys passed that''s mean 66% failed the exam

66% of 900
simply 0.66*900= 594

48% girls passed that''s mean 52% failed

52% of 600
simply 0.52 * 600 = 312

total failed students are 594 + 312 = 906

percentage of failed candidates 906 of 1500

simply 906 / 1500 = 0.604 = 60.4% answer
