In an examination, 48% of candidates passed in science and 56% failed in mathematics. If 32% failed in both subjects, then what percent passed in both subjects?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 24%
Let the number of candidates = 100
48% i.e. 48 out of 100 candidates passed in science.
Number of candidates failed in science = 52% candidates = 52
56% i.e. 56 out of 100 candidates failed in mathematics.
32% i.e. 32 out of 100 candidates failed in both subjects.
Total number of candidates passed in both the exam = 100 - (20 + 32 + 24) = 24
In percentage = 24%
