Q:

In an examination, 34% of the students failed in Mathematics and 42% faiied in English. If 20% of the students failed in both the subjects, then the percentage of students who passed in both the subjects was :

A) 34 % B) 44 %
C) 54 % D) 64 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 44 %

Explanation:

n (A) = 34, n (B) = 42, n (A  ∩ B) = 20.

 

So, n (A  U B) = n (A) + n(B) - n(A ∩B) = 34 + 42 - 20 = 56.

 

Percentage failed in either or both the subjects = 56.

 

Hence, percentage passed = (100 - 66)% = 44%.

Q:

Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 6 hours. After working at it together for 2 hours, C is closed and A and B can fill the remaining part in 7 hours. The number of hours taken by C alone to fill the tank is:

A) 10 B) 12
C) 14 D) 16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 14

Explanation:

Part filled in 2 hours = 2/6=1/3

 

Remaining part =1-13=23

 

 (A + B)'s 7 hour's work = 2/3

 

(A + B)'s 1 hour's work = 2/21

 

C's 1 hour's work = { (A + B + C)'s 1 hour's work } - { (A + B)'s 1 hour's work }

 

=1/6-2/21 = 1/14

 

C alone can fill the tank in 14 hours.
