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.

This is the best example of tubular DI.

Why we have to deduct with 100?

A number of student scoring less than 40% in aggregate is 50 * 40/100 = 20 marks.
A number of students who got less than 20 marks in aggregate are less than 20 means all the student who got 0 to 19 zero and above are 100 and 10 to above are 87.

All the student who got less than 20 comes under the counting of 100 hence we have to find the number of the student from 0 to 19 marks which are 100 - 73 = 27.

The word less than symbolise less than 20 marks so we need to take 10 and above only. Can you please explain this?

Sangamithra said:   9 years ago
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?

Atharva said:   10 years ago
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.

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?

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

Sohail said:   1 decade ago
If there is no word lesser then answer will become 73.

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

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?
