Correct Answer: 68%


Solution : The number of students who passed
= 80% of 20 + 60% of 30
= $\frac{80 × 20}{100}$ + $\frac{60 × 30}{100}$
= 16 + 18
= 34
Now, the pass percentage of the entire class
= $\frac{\text{Number of students passed}}{\text{Total students}}$ × 100
= $\frac{34}{(20 + 30)}$ × 100
= 68%
Hence, the correct answer is 68%.
