Let x% candidates take both the subjects.
Therefore, Percentage of candidates who opted physics = 65.8%
And percentage of candidates who opted mathematics = 59.2%
Therefore, x =(65.8 + 59.2 – 100)%
= (125 -100)% = 25%
Also total number of candidates = 2000
Therefore, Number of candidates who opted both the subjects = 25/100 x 2000 =500
