Re: Of the students in a certain school, 65 percent are enrolled in an art [#permalink]
Let, Total = T
#Enrolled in Arts = A = 0.65T
#Enrolled in Music = M = 0.7T

To find #Enrolled in both.

(1) #Enrolled in music only = 0.25T
Now, #Enrolled in Music = #Enrolled in music only + #Enrolled in both Music and Arts
0.65T = 0.25T + #Enrolled in both Music and Arts
Hence, #Enrolled in both Music and Arts = 0.45T = 45% of total.

Sufficient.

(2) #enrolled in both art and music / #not enrolled in any = 9/2
Representing this as, \(\frac{B}{N} = \frac{9}{2}\)
Now, Total = (#enrolled in art) + (#enrolled in music) - (#enrolled in both) + (#enrolled in neither)
T = 0.65T + 0.7T - B + N = 1.35T - B + N
B-N = 0.35T
\(B - \frac{2}{9}B= 0.35T \)
\(\frac{7}{9}B = 0.35T\)
\(\frac{B}{T} = 0.35 * \frac{9}{7} = 0.45\)
Therefore, % of Total students enrolled in both Art and Music = 45%

Sufficient.

Each statement alone is sufficient. Answer: D
