Passage / Data

Directions for next 5 queestions.

There are 15 girls and some boys among the graduating students in a class. They are planning a get-together, which can be either a 1-day event, or a 2-day event, or a 3-day event. There are 6 singers in the class, 4 of them are boys. There are 10 dancers in the class, 4 of them are girls. No dancer in the class is a singer. 

Some students are not interested in attending the get-together. Those students who are interested in attending a 3-day event are also interested in attending a 2-day event; those who are interested in attending a 2-day event are also interested in attending a 1-day event.

The following facts are also known:
1. All the girls and 80% of the boys are interested in attending a 1-day event. 60% of the boys are interested in attending a 2-day event.

2. Some of the girls are interested in attending a 1-day event, but not a 2-day event; some of the other girls are interested in attending both.

3. 70% of the boys who are interested in attending a 2-day event are neither singers nor dancers. 60% of the girls who are interested in attending a 2-day event are neither singers nor dancers.

4. No girl is interested in attending a 3-day event. All male singers and 2 of the dancers are interested in attending a 3-day event.

5. The number of singers interested in attending a 2-day event is one more than the number of dancers interested in attending a 2-day event.

What fraction of the class are interested in attending a 2-day event?

Answer & solution

  • A

    2/3

  • B

    7/10

  • 7/13

  • D

    9/13

Solution

Consider the solution to first question of this set.

Total students in the class = 15 + 50 = 65
Total students interested in a 2-day event = 5 + 30 = 35

∴ Required fraction = 35/65 = 7/13

Hence, option (c).
