1. Half the graduating class of a college was accepted by a business school. One-third of the class was accepted by a law school. If one-fifth of the class was accepted by both types of school, what fraction of the class was accepted only by a law school?

  • A. 2/15
  • B. 2/15
  • C. 2/15
  • D. 2/15

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Fraction of the class accepted by a law school = 1/3

Fraction of the class accepted by both types of school = 1/5

Fraction of the class accepted only by a law school = 1/3 - 1/5 = 2/15
