CS and Non-CS Course Grades

CAT 2022 Slot 3 · DILR · Medium · Logical Reasoning

Passage / data set

All the first-year students in the computer science (CS) department in a university take both the courses (i) AI and (ii) ML. Students from other departments (non-CS students) can also take one of these two courses, but not both. Students who fail in a course get an F grade; others pass and are awarded A or B or C grades depending on their performance. The following are some additional facts about the number of students who took these two courses this year and the grades they obtained.

  1. The numbers of non-CS students who took AI and ML were in the ratio 2:52 : 5.
  2. The number of non-CS students who took either AI or ML was equal to the number of CS students.
  3. The numbers of non-CS students who failed in the two courses were the same and their total is equal to the number of CS students who got a C grade in ML.
  4. In both the courses, 50% of the students who passed got a B grade. But, while the numbers of students who got A and C grades were the same for AI, they were in the ratio 3:23 : 2 for ML.
  5. No CS student failed in AI, while no non-CS student got an A grade in AI.
  6. The numbers of CS students who got A, B and C grades respectively in AI were in the ratio 3:5:23 : 5 : 2, while in ML the ratio was 4:5:24 : 5 : 2.
  7. The ratio of the total number of non-CS students failing in one of the two courses to the number of CS students failing in one of the two courses was 3:13 : 1.
  8. 30 students failed in ML.

Question 1 of 5

How many students took AI?

  1. A.

    60

  2. B.

    270

  3. C.

    90

  4. D.

    210

Answer

B

Explanation

Total CS students = 210. Non-CS students taking AI = 60. So total students taking AI = 210 + 60 = 270.

Question 2 of 5

How many CS students failed in ML?

Answer

12

Explanation

From the given conditions, the number of CS students failing in ML is 12.

Question 3 of 5

How many non-CS students got A grade in ML?

Answer

27

Explanation

From the ML grade distribution for non-CS students, 27 non-CS students got an A grade in ML.

Question 4 of 5

How many students got A grade in AI?

  1. A.

    99

  3. C.

    84

  4. D.

    63

Answer

D

Explanation

No non-CS student got an A grade in AI. The number of CS students who got an A grade in AI is 63.

Question 5 of 5

How many non-CS students got B grade in ML?

  1. A.

    165

  2. B.

    90

  3. C.

    25

  4. D.
