Correct Answer: 25


Solution : Passed in History = 65%
Failed in History = (100 – 65) = 35%
Passed in Hindi = 55%
Failed in Hindi = (100 – 55) = 45%
Failed in Both = 5%
The percentage of students who failed in a minimum of one subject = (35 + 45) – 5 = 75%
Therefore, the percentage of those students who have passed both subjects = (100 – 75) = 25%
Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
