Answer / guest
70 students are majoring in both, psychology & business
If 73% of the students are psychology majors, we know that
27% are not psychology majors. By the same reasoning, 38%
are not business majors, because 62% of the students do
major in business. So: 27 + 38 = 65
65% of the students are not majoring in both psychology &
business, so 35% are double majors, a total of 70 students.

This is an ambiguous question to which there is no unique solution. It could be that 100% of the 124 business students are also majoring in psychology, in which case the answer is 124. 70 is also a valid answer, for the reasons other people have discuseed, and any number in between.

In a kingdom far far away, the King decided that the time has come to find a husband for his princess daughter. The King wanted to find a worthy lad for his princess, so he promised to give his daughter away to the first young (or old) man who would solve the puzzle that has stumped the best of his court mathematicians for years. The puzzle is very simple: in a palace, there are 25 rooms arranged in a square--5 rows of rooms with 5 rooms in each row. In every room there is a light switch which not only switches on/off the light in that room, but also switches the lights in the adjacent rooms--the room to the right, to the left, the room above and the room below. Initially, all of the lights are turned off. The goal is to turn the lights on in every room of the palace.
