Previous Year Question (PYQs)
4
The number of students who take both the subjects’ mathematics and chemistry are 30.
This represents 10% of the enrolment in mathematics and 12% of enrolment in chemistry.
How many students take at least one of these two subjects?
Solution
Let total mathematics students be $M$, chemistry students be $C$, and both be $30$.
\[
0.1M=30 \Rightarrow M=300,\qquad 0.12C=30 \Rightarrow C=250.
\]
At least one $= M+C-\text{both}=300+250-30=520$.
