Answer 1

"Given : a survey was conducted in a group of 100 students of a school. the ratio of students who like mathematics and computer is 3:5. if 30 of them like both subjects and 10 of them like none of them,

To Find : number of students who like: at most one subject.

Solution:

Mathematics = 3k

Computer = 5k

30 of them like both subjects

10 of them like none of them

Total = Math + Computer - Both + None

100 = 3k + 5k - 30 + 10

=> 120 = 8k

=> k = 15

Mathematics = 45

Computer = 75

Mathematics only = Mathematics - Both = 45 - 30 = 15

Computer only = Computer - Both =75 - 30 = 45

at most one subject = 100 - Both subjects 100 - 30 = 70

or none + computer only + Mathematics only = 10 + 45 + 15 = 70

70 Students like at most one subject"
