Solution: E
Total = Group1 + Group2 + Both - Neither
Lets assume total plates = x
Therefore,
Damaged = x/3
cracked = 2x/3
Both damaged & cracked = x/4
Total = Damaged + cracked + Both damaged & cracked - Neither damaged & cracked
x = x/3 + 2x/3 + x/4 - 90
Upon solving we'll get x = 360.
Hence, total plates = 360
(E)
Total = Group1 + Group2 + Both - Neither
Lets assume total plates = x
Therefore,
Damaged = x/3
cracked = 2x/3
Both damaged & cracked = x/4
Total = Damaged + cracked + Both damaged & cracked - Neither damaged & cracked
x = x/3 + 2x/3 + x/4 - 90
Upon solving we'll get x = 360.
Hence, total plates = 360
(E)
