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.
- The numbers of non-CS students who took AI and ML were in the ratio .
- The number of non-CS students who took either AI or ML was equal to the number of CS students.
- 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.
- 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 for ML.
- No CS student failed in AI, while no non-CS student got an A grade in AI.
- The numbers of CS students who got A, B and C grades respectively in AI were in the ratio , while in ML the ratio was .
- 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 .
- 30 students failed in ML.
Question 1 of 5
How many students took AI?
- A.
60
- B.
270
- C.
90
- D.
210
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?
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?
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?
- A.
42
- B.
99
- C.
84
- D.
63
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?
- A.
165
- B.
90
- C.
25
- D.
75
D
Explanation
Out of 150 non-CS students passing ML, 50% got a B grade, which equals 75.
