Q:

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 ?

A) 26 B) 23
C) 27 D) 21
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 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.
