Correct Answer: 210


Solution : Given: In a class of 1500 students, the percentage of girls is 30%.
The number of girls $=1500\times \frac{30}{100}=450$
The number of boys = The total number of students – The total number of girls = 1500 – 450 = 1050
80% of the boys failed the examination.
⇒ (100% – 80%) = 20% of the boys passed the examination.
The number of boys who passed the examination $=1050\times \frac{20}{100}=210$
Hence, the correct answer is 210.
