Correct answer
360
Why this answer is correct
Common Calculation
Class A:
Given: Total = 250, Present = 84%
⇒ Present = 250 × (84 / 100) = 210
⇒ Absent = 250 − 210 = 40
∴ Total = 250, Present = 210, Absent = 40
Class B:
Given: Total = 28% more than Class A, Absent = 30
⇒ Total = 250 + (28 / 100) × 250 = 320
⇒ Present = 320 − 30 = 290
∴ Total = 320, Present = 290, Absent = 30
Class C:
Given: Present = 10 more than Class B, Absent = 60
⇒ Present = 290 + 10 = 300
⇒ Total = 300 + 60 = 360
∴ Total = 360, Present = 300, Absent = 60
Given:
Present students in Class B = 290, Absent students in Class C = 60
Formula Used:
Total Students = Present Students + Absent Students
Calculation:
⇒ Present students in Class C = 290 + 10 = 300
⇒ Total students in Class C = 300 + 60 = 360
∴ The correct answer is 360.
