Question 25 1.2 / -0
The pie chart shows the percentage of people who play a certain game. What is the number of people playing table tennis if total number of people is 75000?
It is to be noted that all persons play 1 game only.
Solution
The percentage is out of 100. Therefore, for finding the percentage of table tennis players, we will add the given percentages and will subtract them from 100. Required percentage = 100% - (15% + 10% + 20%) = 55% So, the number of people who play table tennis = 55% of 75000 = 41250 Thus, answer option (3) is correct.

If 4x + 5y = 9 and x and y are positive integers, then y could be
Solution
Here, x and y should be positive. Now, 4x + 5y = 9 Going through options, if y = 5, then using value of y in the equation, we get 4x + 25 = 9 Or, 4x = -16 Or, x = -4, which is not possible. Neither y = 4 nor y = 3 is possible. This is because both would give negative values of x. The only possible value could be x = y = 1.
