Step-by-Step Solution
The complete worked solution.
Every step explained — no skipped algebra.
Number passing at least one subject = 38 + 41 – 17 = 62- Number passing neither = Total – Number passing at least one = 55 – 62 = –7 (impossible, so likely input error or overlapping numbers indicate everyone passed or more)- If total students were 75, then neither = 75 – 62 = 13
Final Answer: Option A — 13
