Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Given:

Total number of students in class = 200

Percentage of students only speak English = 40%

Percentage of students only speak Hindi = 45%

Calculation:

According to the question

Percentage of students who can speak English = [40 + (100 - 40 - 45)]%

⇒ (40 + 15)% = 55%

So, The number of students = 55% of 200

⇒ (55 × 200)/100

⇒ 55 × 2 = 110

∴ The total number of students who can speak English is 110
