  By the given conditions we can have 2 equations.
  x + y = 120
  39x + 15y = 120 * 35
  On solving these equations we get x = 100 and y = 20
  
  So candidates passed = 100
  failed = 20

  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........

  The total number of candidates will be divided in ratio 5:1 [pass:fail], which makes it 100:20, that means 100 passed and 20 failed.

  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
  
  Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right
