Five question were asked in an examination. `5%` of the total examinees answered all 5 questions and `5%` of total examinees did not answered any question. `25%` of the rest of the examinees answered only 1 question and `20%` answered 4 questions. `24 (1)/( 2)%` of the total examinees answered only 2 questions. If 200 examinees answered 3 questions, then find the total number of examinees.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote the total number of examinees as \( N \). ### Step 1: Calculate the number of examinees who answered all 5 questions and those who did not answer any questions. - **5% of total examinees answered all 5 questions**: \[ \text{Number of examinees who answered all 5 questions} = 0.05N \] - **5% of total examinees did not answer any questions**: \[ \text{Number of examinees who did not answer any questions} = 0.05N \] ### Step 2: Calculate the remaining examinees. - Total examinees who answered either all or none: \[ \text{Total answered or did not answer} = 0.05N + 0.05N = 0.1N \] - Remaining examinees: \[ \text{Remaining examinees} = N - 0.1N = 0.9N \] ### Step 3: Calculate the number of examinees who answered only 1 question. - **25% of the remaining examinees answered only 1 question**: \[ \text{Number of examinees who answered only 1 question} = 0.25 \times 0.9N = 0.225N \] ### Step 4: Calculate the number of examinees who answered only 4 questions. - **20% of the remaining examinees answered only 4 questions**: \[ \text{Number of examinees who answered only 4 questions} = 0.20 \times 0.9N = 0.18N \] ### Step 5: Calculate the number of examinees who answered only 2 questions. - **24.5% of the total examinees answered only 2 questions**: \[ \text{Number of examinees who answered only 2 questions} = 0.245N \] ### Step 6: Calculate the number of examinees who answered 3 questions. - We know that **200 examinees answered 3 questions**. ### Step 7: Set up the equation. - The total percentage of examinees who answered questions is: \[ 0.225N + 0.18N + 0.245N + 200 = 0.9N \] - Combine the terms: \[ 0.225N + 0.18N + 0.245N = 0.65N \] - Thus, we have: \[ 0.65N + 200 = 0.9N \] ### Step 8: Solve for \( N \). - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 200 = 0.9N - 0.65N \] \[ 200 = 0.25N \] - Dividing both sides by 0.25: \[ N = \frac{200}{0.25} = 800 \] ### Final Answer: The total number of examinees is \( \boxed{800} \). ---
