Solution : Let the total number of students who appeared for the examination be 100%. Now, the number of students who failed in Hindi only = (42 − 17) = 25% Number of students who failed in English only = (52 − 17) = 35% The total number of students who failed = Students failed in Hindi only + Students failed in English only + Students failed in both = 25 + 35 + 17 = 77% So, the number of students who get passed in both subjects = (100 − 77) = 23% Hence, the correct answer is 23%.
