Q19 / 35 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Mathematics · Sets and Relations

A survey shows that 69% students like mathematics, whereas 75% like chemistry. If x% students like both the subjects, then the maximum value of x is

Correct answer: 69

Solution

Let, total students in survey be 100

If mathematics is represented by m & chemistry by c, then 
nm∩c=x
Given, nm=69, nc=75
Now, nm∪c=nm+nc-nm∩c
=69+75–x
=144–x
∵75≤nm∪c≤100
75≤144-x ≤100
∴ 44≤x≤69

Hence, the correct answer is 69.
