The number of girls appearing for an admission test is twice the number of boys. If 30% of the girls and 45% of the boys get admission, the percentage of candidates who do not get admission is
Let the number of girls be 2x and number of boys be x.
Girls getting admission = 0.6x
Boys getting admission = 0.45x
Number of students not getting admission = 3x - 0.6x -0.45x = 1.95x
Percentage = (1.95x/3x) * 100 = 65%
