An objective test was given to a group of 168 students. It was found that of the students gave all correct answers. How many students made 1 or more mistakes?

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Given,

Total students = 168

Part of students who gave all correct answers = $\dfrac{5}{6}$

Part of students who made 1 or more mistakes = $1 - \dfrac{5}{6} = \dfrac{6 - 5}{6} = \dfrac{1}{6}$ .

Students who made 1 or more mistakes = $\dfrac{1}{6}$ × Total number of students

= $\dfrac{1}{6} \times 168$

= 28.

Hence, no. of students who made 1 or more mistakes = 28.
