\text{Required Number}, n(A \cap B) \\
= n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cup B) \\
= 325 + 175 - 400 = 100
\end{aligned}

Although he answered 70% of arithmetic, 40% of arithmetic and 60% of geometry problems correctly, still he got less than 60% problems right. How many more questions he would have to answer more to get passed

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Number of questions attempted correctly = (70% of 10 + 40% of 30 + 60% of 35)

Questions to be answered correctly for 60% = 60% of total quations
= 60 % of 75 = 45.

He would have to answer 45 - 40 = 5
