How many failed in only one language ?

  • A.195
  • B.165
  • C.250
  • D.255

Answer: C

250 students failed in only one language.

For each language subtract the two pairs that include it and add back the 30 who were subtracted twice:

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Marathi only} &= 220 - 125 - 70 + 30 = 55 \\ \text{English only} &= 300 - 125 - 60 + 30 = 145 \\ \text{Hindi only} &= 150 - 70 - 60 + 30 = 50 \\ \text{total} &= 55 + 145 + 50 = 250 \end{aligned} \]

Check: 250 in one language, 165 in exactly two and 30 in all three make 445 who failed at least once, which agrees with \(670 - 255 + 30 = 445\). 165 is the exactly-two count, and 195 and 255 are wrong pair totals.
