Q:

In a class 60% of the students pass in English and 45% pass in Hindi. If 25% of them pass in both subjects, what percentage of the students fail in both the subjects?

A) 20% B) 25%
C) 30% D) 15%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20%

Explanation:

Percentage of students passed in English = 60%

Percentage of students passed in Hindi = 45%

Percentage of students passed in both subjects = 25%

ATQ,

Percentage of students passed in only English = 60 - 25 = 35%

Percentage of students passed in only Hindi = 45 - 25 = 20%

Therefore, Percentage of students failed = 100 - (35 + 25 + 20)

= 100 - 80 = 20%.

A) 25 kmph B) 24 kmph
