Answer 1

Answer:45%

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of students at a summer camp (Universal set)= 150

Number of students who signed for canoeing (C) = 72

Number of students who signed for trekking (T)=23

Number of student who signed for both (T∩C)= 13

As we know the formula of "Sets ":

`n(T\cup C)=n(T)+n(C)-c(T\cap C)\\\\n(T\cup C)=72+23-13\\\\n(T\cup C)=82`

So, we need to find the number of students who signed up for neither canoeing nor trekking:

`n(T\cup C)'=n(U)-n(T\cup C)\\\\n(T\cup C)'=150-82\\\\n(T\cup C)'=68`

Percentage of students signed up for neither canoeing nor trekking is given by

`(68)/(150)* 100\\\\=45.33\4\\\\=45\%`

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
