the tests. The number of students passed in exactly three of the four tests for any three tests is the same
and is 7.
1) How many students passed in exactly one test?
a) 10
b) 8
c) 9
d) 11
e) 10

2) What is the strength of the class?

a) 110
b) 112
c) 113

a) 20%
b) 30%
c) 28%
d) 21%
e) 29%

1) 2+3+4 = 9 => C
2) 99+11= 110 => A
3) (7+7+10+2)/57*100 = 45.6 => D
4) Each person passed in two tests will pass three tests, each passing three will pass 4. So all those passing exactly two
tests alon e will be the ones passing exactly three tests. So maximum number will be 10*6 = 60 => A
5) (7+2+7)/(55+10+10+7)*100 = 19.xx => A

a) 35%
b) 55%
c) 50%
d) 65%
e) 45%

5) If all the students in the college including those who do not read any newspaper read at least one newspaper, (Out of
the fur newspapers above) which he is not reading at present, then what is the least number of students reading all the
four newspapers?
a) 60
b) 25
c) 15
d) 30
e) 40

1) 20*6 = 120 => A

2) 140+90+90+130 = 450 => B
3) 600 -> 80%, 20% -> 150 => D
4) 90/180 = 50% => C
5) Since nobody is reading exactly three newspapers, we can say that the least number of students reading all 4
newspapers will still remain 30 => D
