  • Question
  • 72% of the students of a certain class took Biology and 44% took Mathematics. If each student took at least one of Biology or Mathematics and 40 students took both of these subjects, the total number of students in the class is:


  • Options
  • A. 200
  • B. 240
  • C. 250
  • D. 320

  • Correct Answer
  • 250 

    Explanation

    n(A) = Biology students = 72%
    n(B) = Mathematics students = 44%
    Total students = n(A ? B) = 100%
    ? 100% = 72% + 44% - n(A ? B) = 116% - n(A ? B)
    ? n(A ? B) = 16%
    ? number of students studying both subjects = 40
    ? Let the total number of students be P
    Now, according to the question,
    16P/100 = 40
    ? P = 250
