Ann Mary Jolly  (10 years ago)

Ans : 18
From given,no. of boys in class = 60
no. of girls in class = 48
Since no. of tot maths-boys = half the no. of tot boys
= 30
Therefore, only eng-boys =60-30=30
Now since,only eng-boys = 2(only eng-girls)
only eng-girls = 30/2 = 15
so tot maths-girls = 48-15 = 33
and since only eng girls = 60%(only maths-girls)
therefore only maths-girls = 15*100/60 = 25
Now tot no. of girls studying both maths n eng = 33-25=8....(1)
And since only maths-boys = 80%(only maths-girls),
no. of only maths-boys = 80*25/100 = 20
Therefore,tot no. of boys studying both maths n eng = 30-20=10....(2)
From (1) n (2)....
The tot no. of students studying both maths n eng = 8 + 10 = 18

boys=60
girls=48
total boys studying maths(maths only + english maths maths)-30
total boys studying only english=30
girls only english=15(60% of girls only maths)
so,girls only maths=25
girls both maths and english =48-40=8
boys onlyy maths =80% of girls only maths=80%of 25=20
boys both english +maths=60-30-20=10
total studying both=8+10=19
