Question

150 candidates appeared for examination in three subjects namely, English (E), Math’s (M) and Science (S). The number of candidates who failed in E,M and S are shown in the diagram given below          The ratio of candidates who failed in atmost two subjects to the candidates who failed in atleast one subject is:

A.

71:40

B.

12:7

C.

9:10

D.

None of these

Correct option is C

The Venn diagram shows the number of candidates who failed in different subjects: English (E), Math (M), and Science (S).

Calculating the Required Ratios

We need to find the ratio of candidates who failed in at most two subjects to the candidates who failed in at least one subject.

Candidates who failed in at most two subjects:

Candidates who failed in at least one subject:

Calculating the Ratio

Let's calculate the number of candidates in each category:

Therefore, the ratio of candidates who failed in at most two subjects to the candidates who failed in at least one subject is 72:80, which simplifies to 9:10.

Answer

The ratio of candidates who failed in at most two subjects to the candidates who failed in at least one subject is 9:10.

Conclusion

After rechecking, the original solution was correct.

  • The overlapping regions represent the number of candidates who failed in multiple subjects.
  • These are the candidates who failed in either one or two subjects, but not in all three.
  • We can find this by adding the numbers in the regions that represent failing in one or two subjects.
  • These are the candidates who failed in one, two, or all three subjects.
  • We can find this by adding all the numbers in the Venn diagram.
  • Candidates who failed in at most two subjects: 18 + 9 + 12 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 72
  • Candidates who failed in at least one subject: 72 + 8 = 80
