Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Total students = 1200
Students scoring 60 and above in both Hindi and Punjabi: 65% x 1200 = 780
Students scoring 70 and above in both Hindi and Punjabi: 35% x 1200 = 420
Therefore, students scoring 60 to less than 70 in both subjects: 780−420=360
Now for Hindi:
Students scoring 60 and above in Hindi = 424
Students scoring 70 and above in Hindi = 264
So, Hindi students scoring 60 to less than 70: 424−264=160
Hence Punjabi students scoring 60 to less than 70: 360−160=200
Students scoring 80 and above in Hindi = 108
Difference: 200−108=92
Required percentage less than:
92/200 × 100=46%
Hence, the correct answer is: 46
