Question

The table shows the data of 450 candidates who appeared in the examination of three subjects – Social Science, Mathematics, and Science. How many candidates have passed in at least one subject? 

How many candidates have passed in at least one subject?

• A. 48
• B. 162
• C. 390
• D. 425

Hint:

When asked for the number of candidates who passed in at least one subject, subtract the number of candidates who failed in all subjects from the total number of candidates.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Calculate the total number of candidates who passed in at least one subject.

The total number of candidates is 450. We are given that 60 candidates failed in all three subjects. Thus, the number of candidates who passed in at least one subject is:
\[ \text{Passed in at least one subject} = 450 - 60 = 390 \]

So, the number of candidates who passed in at least one subject is 390.
