    1/5 means 20%
Percentage of passed student is 100-20= 80%
So, total number of students attended the exam = 240*100/80= 300
No. Of students failed is 60 that is 1/5 of 300.

    If 240 candidates passed the examination, and this represents 80% of the total number of candidates, then:
240 = 0.8 * x
Solving for x, we get:
x = 240 / 0.8
x = 300
So, the total number of candidates who took the examination is 300.
    
240 = 0.8 * x
Solving for x, we get:
x = 240 / 0.8
x = 300
So, the total number of candidates who took the examination is 300.
