Question 20

Mathematics Sets Medium

In a class of 100 students, 55 students have passed in Mathematics and 67 students have passed in Physics. Then the number of students who have passed in Physics only is

(A) 22
(B) 33
(C) 10
(D) 45
View Dynamic Solution & Explanation
Correct Solution: Option D

Step-by-step Solution:

Let:

\( M = 55 \) (students passed in Mathematics)
\( P = 67 \) (students passed in Physics)
Total students = 100

Using the principle of set union: \[ M + P - \text{Both} = \text{Total} \] \[ 55 + 67 - x = 100 \] \[ x = 22 \] So, the number of students who passed both subjects is 22.
Now, students who passed only Physics: \[ P - \text{Both} = 67 - 22 = 45 \]
