College T has 1000 students. Of the 200 students majoring in one or more of the sciences,130 are majoring in Chemistry and 150 are majoring in Biology. If at least 30 of the students are not majoring in either Chemistry or Biology, then the number of students majoring in both Chemistry and Biology could be any number from
A110 to 120
B100 to 130
C110 to 130
D90 to 110
Answer: Option C
Explanation:If we assume exactly 30 students are not majoring in any subject then the students who take atleast one subject = 200 - 30 = 170
We know that n(A?B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A?B)
=> 170 = 130 + 150 - n(A?B)
Solving we get n(A?B) = 110.
i.e., Students who can take both subjects are 110
But If more than 30 students are not taking any subject, what can be the maximum number of students who can take both the subjects?
As there are 130 students are majoring in chemistry, assume these students are taking biology also. So maximum students who can take both the subjects is 130
So the number of students who can take both subjects can be any number from 110 to 130
