In an examination 80% passed in English, 85% in Maths, 75% in both and 40 students failed in both subjects. Then the number of students appeared are:

  1. 400

  2. 300

  3. 600

  4. 500

Solution

Solution:

n(E) = 80

n(M) = 85

n(E n M) = 75

n(E ? M) = n(E) + n(M) - n(E n M) = 80 + 85 - 75 = 90

n(E?M)' = 10

Let n be the total number of students appeared

? n = 400
