  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Hello

    let 100 be the total number

    5 + 5 + 1/4 * 90 + 1/5 * 90 + 49/2

    ==> 10 + 45/2 + 18 + 49/2

    ==> (56 + 94)/2 = 150/2 = 75

    So 25 remains who attend 3 questions

    By the sum it is found to be 200

    Hence 1/4 th equals to 200

    Thus 1 stands for 800

    Total number of students = 800

    Verification:

    All questions by 5% of 800 = 40

    None by 5% of 800 = 40

    Remaining = 800 – 80 = 720

    One Q by 25% of 720 = 180

    Four Qs by 20% of 720 = 144

    Two Qs by 24.5 % of 800 = 196

    Three Qs by = 200

    Now let us check the total = 40 + 40 + 180 + 144 + 196 + 200 = 800 [VERIFIED]
