What is the total number of students who do NOT participate in Music or Plays from classes X and VII, taken together?

Options:

700

620

480

675

Correct Answer:

675

Explanation:

Total  number of students in X = 600

Number of students who are not in music or play in X  =600 -  \(\frac{12+8 }{100}\) × 600

= 480 

Total  number of students in VII = 250

Number of students who are not in music or play in VII  = 250 -  \(\frac{10+12 }{100}\) × 250

= 195 

Total number of students who do not participate in music or play from X & VII = 480 + 195

= 675
