Question 72

72% of the students of a certain class took Biology and 44% took Mathematics. If each student took at least one of Biology or Mathematics and 40 students took both of these subjects, the total number of students in the class is

% of students took biology = 72%

% of students took mathematics = 44%

% of students took both subjects = (72 + 44) - 100

                                                 = 16%

According to the question

let the total number of students be N

Then, 16% of N = 40

On solving, N=250
