Correct Answer: 78% of all students


Solution : Students failed in Mathematics = 19% of all students
Students failed in English = 10% of all students
Students failed in both subjects = 7% of all students
Total students failed = Students failed in Mathematics + Students failed in English – Student failed in both subjects
= (19% + 10%) – 7%
= 22% of all students
So, the total number of students who passed
= 100% – 22%
= 78% of all students
Hence, the correct answer is 78% of all students.
