First of all, I will assume you meant to say:
"The number of pupils who did Mathematics are twice as the number of pupils who did English."
Secondly, it's called a Venn diagram, not veen

draw your Venn diagram
in the intersection, place 12
in the "only math" part , label it x
in the "only English" part, label it y

we know x+y+12=16
x+y = 4
y = 4-x


change the y in your diagram to 4-x

(pressed the submit too soon)

12 + x = 2(4-x + 12)
12+x = 32 - 2x
3x = 20
x = 20/3 <---- not a whole number,

furthermore 4-x would be a negative number of students!
