Solution

First, let's find out the number of boys and girls who passed the exam.

The number of boys = 2000 candidates - 900 girls = 1100 boys

38% of the boys passed, so the number of boys who passed = 38/100 * 1100 = 418 boys

32% of the girls passed, so the number of girls who passed = 32/100 * 900 = 288 girls

The total number of candidates who passed = 418 boys + 288 girls = 706 candidates

The total number of candidates who failed = Total candidates - Candidates who passed = 2000 - 706 = 1294 candidates

The percentage of candidates who failed = (Number of failed candidates / Total candidates) * 100 = (1294 / 2000) * 100 = 64.7%

So, the total percentage of failed candidates is 64.7%, which corresponds to option a.64.7%.
