Total number of students is 600000.
Calculation:
Out of 600000, 40% passed, the total number of passed students 600000 × 40/100 = 240000
Out of 600000, 40% were female, the total number of females = 240000 and males = 360000
The pass percentage among the males was 50%, total males passed= 360000/2 = 180000
So, female passed = (240000 - 180000) = 60000
So, female pass% = 60000/240000 × 100 = 25%
∴ The correct answer is 25%
