Study the following table and answer the questions.

Classification of 100 Students Based on the Marks Obtained by them in Physics and Chemistry in an Examination.

Subject Marks out of 50
40 and above 30 and above 20 and above 10 and above 0 and above
Physics9328092100
Chemistry4216681100
Average (Aggregate)7277387100


4.
The number of students scoring less than 40% marks in aggregate is?
13
19
20
27
Answer: Option
Explanation:

We have 40% of 50 = ( 40 x 50 ) = 20.
100

Therefore Required number

      = Number of students scoring less than 20 marks in aggreagate

      = 100 - Number of students scoring 20 and above marks in aggregate

      = 100 - 73

      = 27.

Here, it is clearly mentioned that less than 40%. So, why would we consider 40% and above?

Please, anyone, explain me.

It's simple.

Out of 100 students, 73 students have scored 20/50 and to find students scored less than 20, simply subtract total students (100) - students scored above 20 (73) = 27.

We can't simply subtract 73 from 87 because there are students scored less than 10 also so, it 73 should subtract from 100.

10 and above should be included but 20 30 40 above are not included since it is higher than 40% and above.

Physic 92-80 = 12.
Chemistry 81-66 = 15.
=27.

Why can't we directly take 27 from the table 30 and above. It is less than 40 % and we can easily get 27!

Is there any logic here? Help me.

It is simple, the total no of students 100.

And who got 40% students is 73 remaining students are less than 40%.
So, 100-73=27.

The word less than 20 is inappropriate.

It is simple, its the total number

ie. 100 - (20 and above) = below 20.

Answer given is wrong because it is clearly mentioned that less than 40%. So why would we consider 40% and above?

According to me, the correct ans is 13.
Because question says less than 20.
So we will take a number of student scoring 10 and above.
i.e 100 -87=13.

But if we remove the word "less than" in the question the provided answer is correct.
If it is wrong please correct me

The que says that the given chart shows the classification of 100 students. That means in total 100 students are there;
100-73=27.

Total-students having above 20=students having below 20 marks.
