A student needs to enroll for a minimum of 60 credits. A student cannot enroll for more than 70 credits. Credits are divided among projects and three distinct sets of courses namely, Core, Specialization and Elective. It is compulsory for a student to enroll for exactly 15 credits of Core and exactly 20 credits for project. In addition, a student has to enroll for a minimum of 10 credits of Specialization. The maximum credits of Elective course that a student can enroll for is ______.
Correct : 25
Explanation:
1. Total Credits Formula: Total Credits = Core + Project + Specialization + Elective
2. Given Fixed Values: Core = 15 credits, Project = 20 credits.
• This gives a fixed total of: 15 + 20 = 35 credits.
• The equation becomes: Total Credits = 35 + Specialization + Elective
3. Constraints:
• Maximum Total Credits = 70
• Minimum Specialization Credits = 10
4. Maximizing Elective Credits: To make Elective credits as high as possible, we must maximize the Total Credits (70) and minimize the Specialization credits (10).
5. Calculation:
• 70 = 35 + 10 + Elective
• 70 = 45 + Elective
• Elective = 70 - 45 = 25 credits.
