Question

The local Jazz Club met 50 times last year. At each meeting there were 20 slots on the playlist, with one tune played in each slot. A careful study of the playlists for last year showed that: 40% of the slots were used for tunes that were not played at any other time that year. 45% of the slots were used for tunes that were played just twice. Half of the remaining slots were used for tunes that were played 3 times. There were only 5 other tunes played during the year, and the number of times that these were played was in the ratio 5 : 4 : 3 : 2 : 1. How many different tunes will a member who attended all meetings have heard during the year?
A655
B 705
C 880
D 930
