A management education program offers courses in four main disciplines — Marketing, Finance, Operations, and Strategy. A student who opts for three or more courses in one discipline is awarded a concentration in that discipline. A student may, therefore, concentrate in multiple disciplines or in none of the four disciplines. 50% of students concentrated in Marketing, 25% concentrated in Finance, 30% concentrated in Operations, 60% concentrated in Strategy.
X represent the maximum possible percentage of students who may have concentrated in three or more of the four disciplines.
Y represent the minimum possible percentage of students who may have concentrated in two or more of the four disciplines.
Select the appropriate values of X and Y from the following options:

Total counts = 50 + 25 + 30 + 60 = 165 (for 100 students)
Extra counts beyond 100 = 65 → represent overlaps.
X (max students in 3+ disciplines)
To maximize 3+ overlap, we pack overlaps efficiently into 3-discipline students.
Max feasible = 25%
Y (min students in 2+ disciplines)
To minimize 2+ students, we push overlap into fewer people but cannot avoid at least 30% being in 2+ disciplines.
Final Answer:
X = 25%
Y = 30%
Extra counts beyond 100 = 65 → represent overlaps.
