Correct Answer:
D. 0%
This question is a straightforward assessment of understanding passing criteria. The student scored 80% in English and 85% in Math. The passing percentage for each subject is stated as 75%. Since both scores (80% and 85%) are individually higher than the required 75% passing mark, the student has successfully passed both subjects.
- The student scored 80% in English, which is greater than 75%.
- The student scored 85% in Math, which is also greater than 75%.
- Since the student passed both subjects, there is no failure.
- Therefore, the percentage of failure is 0%.
The other options (6%, 7%, 8%) would imply some form of failure or miscalculation, which is not the case here. The question does not suggest an average passing score or any other complex criteria.
