Correct Answer: 1.41


Solution : Total candidates from City D = 2.35 lakhs
The ratio of passing to failing candidates in City D is 4 : 6
One part = $\frac{\text{Total candidates}}{\text{Total parts}}$ = $\frac{2.35}{10}$ = 0.235 lakhs
$\therefore$ Number of failed candidates in City D = 6 × One part = 6 × 0.235 = 1.41
Hence, the correct answer is 1.41.
