Question 44

During the placement season of a class, 21 students got shortlisted for company A, 26 got shortlisted for Company B and 29 got shortlisted for company C and 14 students got shortlisted for both A and B, 12 students got shortlisted for A and C and 15 for both B and C. All the companies shortlisted 8 students from the class. Then what is the ratio of number of students who got shortlisted for only B and number of students who got shortlisted for only C?

Solution

Given e = 8

Number of students shortlisted for A and B is 14

 e + b = 14

       b = 6

Number of students shortlisted for A and C is 12

e + d = 12

      d = 4

Number of students shortlisted for B and C is 15

e + f = 15

      f = 7

Given 

Number of students shortlisted for B is 26

b + f + e + c = 26

6 + 7 + 8 + c = 26

                  c = 5

Number of students shortlisted for C is 29

d + e + f + g = 29

                 g = 10

Number of students shortlisted for A is 21

b + e + d + a = 21

                  a = 3

Number of students shortlisted for only B = c = 5

Number of students shortlisted for only C = g = 10

Ratio = 5:10 = 1:2

Answer is option B
