Athletes in School

In a particular school, sixty students were athletes. Ten among them were also among the top academic performers. How many top academic performers were in the school?


A. Sixty per cent of the top academic performers were not athletes.
B. All the top academic performers were not necessarily athletes.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

A is Sufficient - 40% of top performers were atheletes = 10 people
Total top performers = 10/0.4 =25
B. Insufficient

so answer is A
