600 students took the test on physics and chemistry. 35% students failed in physics and 45% students failed in chemistry and 40% of those who passed in chemistry also passed in physics, then how many students failed in both:
         
       
      
      
      
          
      
      
          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: D) None of these         
         
Explanation:                   Physics             Chemistry
Failed           35%                    45%
Passed         65%                    55%
Passed in both = 22% of total student
percentage of students who are passed in any of the physics or chemistry or both =(65+55) - 22 = 98%
So, the percentage of students who are failed in both = 2%
Therefore, total failed (in both subjects) students = 12
