Correct Answer: 80


Solution : According to the given table, we have:
Total number of students = 200
Percentage of students in all streams = 100%
Percentage of students who neither have commerce nor science = Percentage of students in Arts, Home science, and Others
= (29 + 6 + 5)% = 40%
$\therefore$ Number of students who neither have commerce nor science = $200\times\frac{40}{100}$ = 80
Hence, the correct answer is 80.
