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.

The word less than symbolise less than 20 marks so we need to take 10 and above only

How you are taking 40 percent of 50 why 50 how 50?

Emmanuel said:   1 decade ago
But using less than in the sentence makes it start from 10 and above. Why is the aggregate for 20 and above being used instead?

If there is no word lesser then answer will become 73.

If there is lesser than = no.of students -73.

How 100-73 came? What that 73 denotes? How to calculate that 73?

Aggregate: 7 27 73 87 100.

Why we are not directly take 87 and 100 value?

Because in table is already mansion "10 and above & 0 and above".

So according to them we should add these two values (100+87).

But they take 27 "Who is 30 and above"?

Can any one explain this question?

I think 0 to 100 indicates the total number of students.

Then from that value deduct the 20 and above.

i.e 100-73 = 27.

Actually my doubt is:

To get number of students with marks less than 20 we can subtract students with 20 to 50 marks from 10 to 50 i.e, 87 - 73 = 14.

Why should we consider 100 - 73?
