If at least 40% marks in Mathematics are required for pursuing higher studies in Mathematics, how many students will be eligible to pursue higher studies in Mathematics?

Accepted Answer

The question states that at least 40% marks in Mathematics are required for pursuing higher studies in Mathematics. The maximum marks are 50, so 40% of 50 = 0.40 × 50 = 20 marks.

From the table, the number of students who scored 20 and above in Mathematics is 65.

However, the table also gives the number of students who scored 40 and above in Mathematics as 3, and 30 and above as 23. But since the requirement is at least 40%, which is 20 marks and above, the relevant number is the count of students scoring 20 and above.

Therefore, the number of students eligible to pursue higher studies in Mathematics is 65.
