Question

In a group of students, 60% can speak English and 75% can speak Hindi. If 25% of the students can speak none of the two languages, then what percent of the group can speak both languages?

• A. 40%
• B. 60%
• C. 20%
• D. None of These

Answer 1

The correct option is B

60%

Assume 100 students in the class.

No of students who don’t speak Hindi or English : 25% of 100 =25

Thus all remaining 75% students i.e. 75 students speak Hindi whereas 60 % speak English.

Let percentage of students who speak both languages be 'X'.

75 = 75 + 60 - X

X = 60

Therefore, 60 percent students speak both languages.
