TL;DR Summary: i want to understand the concept.
i denote the students as X,
0.1X students passed all topics
0.1X students did not pass any topics
0.80X remaining students
0.2*0.80X students passed in one topic
0.25*0.80X students passed in 2 topics only
0.24*0.80X students passed in 4 topics only
so going by this pattern
out of the 100 percent of remaining students
(100-20-25-24)*0.80X=500 as 20% of the overall students are students who passed all topics or no topics.But i am not getting the answer
In a practice paper at 2iim.com, questions were given from 5 topics. Out of the appearing students, 10% passed in all topics while 10% did not pass in any. Of the remaining, 20% passed in one topic only and 25% in two topics only. If 24% of the total students passed 4 topics only and 500 students passed in 3 topics only, find the total number of students who appeared in the examination?
