  • Question
  • Total 100 members are writing exam. In that 48 members are writing first exam, 45 members are writing second exam and 38 members are writing third exam. 5 members are writing all the three exams. How many members are writing 2 exams ?


  • Options
  • A. 26
  • B. 23
  • C. 27
  • D. 21

  • Correct Answer
  • 21 

    Explanation

    Total number of exams written by 100 students = 48 + 45 + 38 = 131
    Now let us say x members are writing only 1 exam, y members are writing only 2 exams, z members are writing only 3 exams.
    Therefore, x + 2y + 3z = 131 also x + y + z = 100.
    Given that z = 5. So x + 2y = 116 and x + y = 95.
    Solving we get y = 21.
    So 21 members are writing exactly 2 exams.
