those who love maths,out of which 30 students change their mind
so total no. students changed their mind is 80 i.e. 80%

let the total number of students be 100
50% love math=50
50% hate math=50

maximum number of students who changed their mind means the students who hated math turned into loving pals so

3o%of hated earlier=30/100.50=15

answer:15

love math hate math
50 50
after end of session
70 30
so, the maximum no. of students who change their views :
Let total no. of student be 100
At maximum after start of session 50 student from both category can change their mind.
So, in worst case if all the hate student changed their view then there has to be minimum 20 students in the love category who did not change their view in order to make total 70.

thus all the students change their view except these 20. ie. 80 %
