• A. 5
• B. 6
• C. 7
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is C 7

C

X = I + II + III = 100 – 5 = 95As 5 students have passed in none.

S = I + 2II + 3III = 53 + 61 + 60 = 174

S – X = II + 2III = 174 – 95 = 79 ... (i)

Number of people who have passed in two subject = 24 + 35 + 27 = 86 = II + 3III... (ii)

From (i) and (ii), III = 86 – 79 = 7

So, people who have passed in all three subjects = 7
