in 1st point why 5 student chooses math n physc they can also choose mth n chemstry then final answr will be dffrnt pls explain
Reply from Admin:
Since we have to minimise students who choose chemistry, we will have to maximise those students who will choose physics/maths.
18 students chose all three subjects. 23 students chose maths, hence maximum (23 - 18 =) 5 students can chose maths and physics only.
This leaves 2 (25 - 18 - 5) more students who have to chose physics. Since they cannot chose maths as 2nd subject, they will have to chose chemistry as 2nd subject.
Hence, minimum number of students choosing chemistry as their subject = 18 + 2 = 20.
Hope this helps !!!
