For a2, there are $15%$ that failed theoretical and $30%$ that failed practical. As these sets are disjoint, there were $45%$ that failed one test. For a3 there were $70%$ that passed practical and $55%$ that passed both, so it is $frac {55}{70}$

  • $begingroup$
    I had considered $100$ students.among them $85$ students passed in theoretical and $70$ students passed in practical. then isn't the number of students passed in both test $=85+70-100=60$ according to the formula?then , the probability shouldn't be $60/100=3/5$? where is my mistake?

Geschichte | Der heutige Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten wurde ursprünglich als Verlängerung der Wakenitzmauer angelegt. 1903 wurde in den erhaltenen Teil der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer, an dem die Wakenitzmauer bei der Einmündung der Kaiserstraße begann, ein Tor mit einem großen Bogen für die Durchführung der Straße und zwei kleineren seitlichen Öffnungen für Fußgänger gebrochen, um für die neu errichteten Wohnhäuser in diesem Bereich
