    Question

    In an examination, 50% students failed in English and 40% in Maths and 15% students failed in both subjects. If 200 students passed in both the subjects. Find the number of students appear in Exam.

    B.

    400

    C.

    800

    D.

    1000

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    200 students passed in both subjects.

    Let total number students 100x.

    Total students = Total failed students + Total passed students 

    100x = 75x + 200

    25x = 200

    x = 8

    Total students = 100x = 100×8100 \times 8  = 800

    So, the number of students appear in exam is 800.

    Thus, the correct answer is (c).
