hi Mr.English scared your brilliant, by taking the equation and solving....But it consume more time.. There is another way to answer, just think. with out paper work you can easily solve this........
given total number of passed students are =120
let the number of pass students=x
and let the number of fail students is=y
so from the questions
the equations will be
x+y=120 .............(1)
total number of marks get by all the students=120*35
=4200
now the second equation will be
39x + 15y= 4200.........(2)
putting the value of x in equation (2) from the first equation ie. x=120-y
39(120-y)+15y=4200
4680-39y+15y=4200
24y=480
y=20
by solving it we will get
y=20
x=100
so the number of passed students =100
sp the number of failed students =20
