Answer 1

It is said that 85% of the students liked reading mystery stories. This means the remaining 15% don't like to read these stories. If there are 30 students belonging to the second category, then the number of students who liked reading mystery stories is (30/0.15)*0.85 equal to 170 students out of 200 students.
