Given:
Number of students in the class=30
Students failed in both subjects=2
To find:
i. Number of students who failed in only one subject
ii. Number of students who passed in at least one subject
iii. Number of students who passed in both the subjects
Solution:
The number of students who failed in only one subject is 9, who passed in at least one subject is 28, and who passed in both the subjects is 19.
We can find the values by following the given steps-
We know that the students who passed in Maths=25
The students who failed in Maths=5
The students who passed in English=22
The students who failed in English=8
We will use the given information to find the values.
i. The number of students who failed in only one subject can be obtained by subtracting the number of students who failed in both subjects from the students who failed in either subject.
The number of students who failed in only one subject=(Number of students who failed in Maths- Number of students who failed in both subjects)+(Number of students who failed in English-Number of students who failed in both subjects)
On putting the values, we get
The number of students who failed in only one subject=(5-2)+(8-2)
=3+6
=9
So, 9 students failed in only one subject. (Option D)
ii. Now, the number of students who passed in at least one subject can be obtained by subtracting the number of students who failed in both subjects from the total number of students.
So, the number of students who passed in at least one subject=Total number of students-number of students who failed in both subjects
The number of students who passed in at least one subject=30-2
=28
The number of students who passed in at least one subject is 28. (Option A)
iii. The number of students who passed in both the subjects can be obtained by deducting the number of students who failed in one or both subjects.
The number of students who passed in both the subjects=Total number of students-number of students who failed in one subject-number of students who failed in both subjects
On putting the values,
The number of students who passed in both the subjects=30-9-2
=30-11
=19
So, 19 students passed in both the subjects. (Option D)
Therefore, the number of students who failed in only one subject is 9, who passed in at least one subject is 28, and who passed in both the subjects is 19.
