Correct Answer: ans: 400.
Explanation:
Only passed in English = 80 – 75 = 5%
Only passed in Mathematics = 85 – 75 = 10%
Passed in \both subjects = 5 + 10 + 75 = 90%
Failed in \both subjects = 100 – 90 = 10%
Failed students 10 when total students = 100
Failed students 40 when total students = $\frac{100\times 40}{10}$ = 400.
