MCQ
In an examination $70\%$ students passed both in Mathematics and Physics $85\%$ passed in Mathematics and $80\%$ passed in Physics If $30$ students have failed in both the subjects then the total number of students who appeared in the examination is equal to:
  • A
    $900$
  • $600$
  • C
    $150$
  • D
    $100$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$600$
Student passed in atleast one subject
$= \ce{n (P ∪ M) = n(P) + n(M) -n (P ∪ M)}$
$= 80 + 85 - 70$
$= 95$
$\therefore 5\%$ student failed in both the subjects
$\Rightarrow 5\%$ of total students $= 30$
$\Rightarrow$ Total students $=\frac{30\times100}{5}=600$
