A. 165%
B. 90%
C. 65%
D. 55%
E. 10%


Given
Vehicles = 300
Trucks = 30%*300 = 90
Diesel Vehicles = 20%*300= 60
Diesel Trucks = 15
Non Diesel Trucks = 90-15 = 75
Other Diesel Vehicles = 45

Solution
Percentage of vehicles neither trucks nor diesel = Total Number of trucks - (Diesel Trucks +Non Diesel Trucks +Other Diesel Vehicles)/Total Number of trucks = 300-(75+15+45)/300= 165/300= 55%

Trucks = 30% of 300 = 90
Other Vehicles (Excluding Trucks) = 300-90 = 210

Diesel Vehicle = 20% of 300 = 60 (Including 15 Trucks)
Other Diesel Vehicles (Excluding Trucks) = 60-15 = 45

Trucks that are NOT diesel = 90 - 15 = 75
Other Vehicles that are NOT diesel Vehicles = 210-45 = 165

Required % = (165/300)*100 = 55%

Total vehicles = 300
Number of Trucks = 90
Number of diesel vehicles = 60

Number of diesel trucks = 15
Number of non diesel trucks = 75

Vehicles that are neither trucks nor diesel = 300 - (trucks) - (diesel vehicles) + (diesel trucks)
We are adding diesel trucks, because the number would be contained in both trucks and diesel vehicles.

Therefore, Vehicles that are neither trucks nor diesel = 300 - 90 - 60 + 15 = 165
% of Vehicles that are neither trucks nor diesel = (165/300)*100 = 55% (Option D)

We see that there are 300 x 0.3 = 90 trucks.

Also, that 0.2 x 300 = 60 are diesel.

We can use the formula:

Total = Trucks + Diesel - Both + Neither

300 = 90 + 60 - 15 + N

300 = 135 + N

165 = N

Since 165/300 = 0.55, we see that 55% of the vehicles are neither trucks nor diesel.
