Question $A$ was correctly answered by $3,30,000$ candidates. Question $B$ was answered correctly by $2,50,000$ candidates. Question $C$ was answered correctly by $2,60,000$ candidates. Both questions $A$ and $B$ were answered correctly by $1,00,000$ candidates. Both questions $B$ and $C$ were answered correctly by $90,000$ candidates. Both questions $A$ and $C$ were answered correctly by $80,000$ candidates.

Answer D)

Say there are x students who answered all correctly

So, according to condition there are x student who answered none

Equation using inclusion exclusion principle

$630000-x=330000+250000+260000-100000-90000-80000+x$

$x=30000$

Now, it is given that to pass u need to answer at least 2 out of 3 questions

So, those who answered one answer correctly also considered to be fail

Only A answered correctly$330000-100000-80000+30000=180000$

Only B answered correctly $250000-100000-90000+30000=90000$

Only C answered correctly $260000-80000-90000+30000=120000$

So, total failed student $180000+90000+120000+30000=420000$
