MCQ
While preparing the progress reports of the students, the class teacher found that 70% of the students passed in Hindi, 80% passed in English and only 65% passed in both the subjects. Find out the percentage of students who failed in both the subjects.
  • 15%
  • B
    20%
  • C
    30%
  • D
    35%

Answer

Correct option: A.
15%
The sets E and H represent the students failing in the respective subjects.
n(H ∪ E) = 1− 0.65 = 0.35
By set theory
n(H ∩ E) = n(H) + n(E) − n(N ∪ E)
= 0.3 + 0.2 − 0.35 = 0.15
Hence 15% of students failed in both subjects.
