The number of students in school  E exceeds the total number of students in school A and B by x, where x lies between?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 440 - 460

Application

According to the question,

The total number of students = 9000.

Number of students in E = 9000 × (118.8/360) = 2970

A = (36/360) × 9000 = 900.

B = (64.8/360) × 9000 = 1620

According to the question we need to find = 

X = E - (A + B)

= 2970 + (900 + 1620)

= 450.

So, we can say that x lies between 440 and 460
