Answer the next 4 questions based on the information given below:
In a class of 150 students, 90 passed in Maths, 65 passed in English and 15 failed in both the subjects.
How many students passed in both the subjects.
Answer: 20
Explanation :
Since 15 failed in both subjects there are 150 – 15 = 135 students who passed in at least one subject.
n(M) = number of students who passed in Maths = 90
n(E) = number of students who passed in English = 65
n(M∩E) = number of students who passed in both Maths as well as English.
n(M∪E) = number of students who passed in at least one of Maths or English = 135
∴ n(M ∪ E) = n(M) + n(E) - n(M∩E)
⇒ 135 = 90 + 65 - n(M∩E)
⇒ n(M∩E) = 90 + 65 – 135 = 20
∴ Number of students who passed in both the subjects = 20
Hence, 20.

How many students passed in English but failed in Maths.
Answer: 45
Explanation :
Consider the solution to first question of this set.
We need to figure out the number of students who passed only in English.
= Number of students who passe in English – Number of students who passed in both.
= 65 – 20 = 45
Hence, 45.
Workspace:
How many students failed in exactly one subject.
Answer: 115
Explanation :
Consider the solution to first question of this set.
Number of students who failed in only one subject = Number of students who passed in only one subject
= Number of students who passed only in Maths + Number of students who passed only in English
= (65 - 20) + (90 - 20) = 115
Alternately,
Number of students who failed in only one subject = Number of students who passed in at least one subject – Number of students who passed in both the subjects.
= 135 – 20 = 115
Hence, 115.
Workspace:
What is the absolute difference between the number of students who failed in Maths and the number of students who failed only in English is?
Answer: 10
Explanation :
Consider the solution to first question of this set.
Number of students who failed in Maths = 150 – 90 = 60
Number of students who failed only in English = Number of students who passed only in Maths = 90 – 20 = 70
Difference = 70 – 60 = 10.
Hence, 10.

Answer the next 5 questions based on the information given below:
At a party, 144 guests drink only tea, 50% of the guests drink coffee, 25% of the guests drink both tea and coffee and 5% of the guests drink neither tea nor coffee.
What is the total number of guests at the party?
- (a)
320
- (b)
360
- (c)
280
- (d)
240
Answer: Option A
Explanation :
From the given data, we get the following diagram.
Let the total number of guests be x.
⇒ x = 144 + (25% of x) + (25% of x) + (5% of x)
⇒ x - - - = 144
⇒ = 144
⇒ x = 320.
The total guets at the party = 320.
Hence, option (a).
Workspace:
How many of the guests drink only tea or only coffee?
- (a)
226
- (b)
224
- (c)
228
- (d)
256
Answer: Option B
Explanation :
Consider the solution to the first question of this set.
The number of guests who drink only tea or only coffee
= 144 + (25% of 320)
= 144 + 80 = 224.
Hence, option (b).
Workspace:
How many of the guests drink neither tea nor coffee?
- (a)
14
- (b)
10
- (c)
16
- (d)
24
Answer: Option C
Explanation :
Consider the solution to the first question of this set.
The number of guests who drink neither tea nor coffee
= none = 5% of 320
= 5/100 × 320 = 16.
Hence, option (c).
Workspace:
How many of the guests drink only coffee?
- (a)
58
- (b)
76
- (c)
98
- (d)
80
Answer: Option D
Explanation :
Consider the solution to the first question of this set.
The number of guests who drink only coffee = 25% of 320 = 80.
Hence, option (d).
Workspace:
How many of them drink at least one of the two?
- (a)
306
- (b)
288
- (c)
256
- (d)
304
Answer: Option D
Explanation :
Consider the solution to the first question of this set.
The number of guests who drink at least one of the two
= 144 + (25% of 320) + (25% of 320)
= 144 + 80 + 80 = 304.
Alternately,
The number of guests who drink at least one of the two = Total number of guest – those guests who drink none of tea or coffee.
= 320 – (5% of 320) = 320 – 16 = 304.
Hence, option (d).
