Answer:
400
Step-by-step explanation:
Failures in English
= 100 – 75 = 25
Failures in Maths = 100–60 = 40
Failures in both subjects = 25
Failures in English only
= 25 – 25 = 0
Failures in Maths only
= 40 – 25 = 15
Failures in one or both subjects
= 25 + 15 = 40
Percentage of successful
= 100 – 40 = 60
Let total students be x.
x = (240×100)/60
= 400
