In an institute, 60% of the students are boys and the rest are girls. Further 15% of the boys and 7.5% of the girls are getting a fee waiver. If the number of those getting a fee waiver is 90, find the total number of students getting 50% concessions if it is given that 50% of those not getting a fee waiver are eligible to get half fee concession?

  • 1360
  • 2280
  • 3320
  • 4330
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
Let us assume there are 100 students in the institute.
Then, number of boys = 60
And, number of girls = 40
Further, 15% of boys get fee waiver = 9 boys
7.5 % of girls get fee waiver = 3 girls
Total = 12 students who gets fee waiver
But, here given 90 students are getting fee waiver. So we compare
12 = 90
So, 1 = 90/12 = 7.5
Now number of students who are not getting fee waiver = 51 boys and 37 girls.
50% concession = 25.5 boys and 18.5 girls (i.e. total 44).
Hence, required students = 44*7.5 = 330.
