Answer:

C. 20%

Explanation:

From our Given data:

40% of the students like Mathematics

50% of the students like English

10% of the students like both Mathematics and English

To find the percentage of students who like neither English nor Mathematics, we can subtract the percentage of students who like either or both subjects from 100%.

Finding the percentage of students who like neither subject:

To find the percentage who like neither subject, we subtract the percentage who like either or both subjects from 100%:

Percentage who like neither subject = 100%

Percentage who like either or both subjects - Percentage who like neither subject = 100% - 90% = 10%

The percentage of students who like neither math or english is 20%

Thus the answer to your problem is, C. 20%
