3 answers

If there are a,b,c students studying exactly two of the subjects, taken in pairs, then

(40+35+30)-(a+15 + b+15 + c+15)+15 = 70
a+b+c = 5

So, 5 students are taking exactly two of the subjects.
In a class of 120 students each student studies at least one of the subjects from history English & maths 59 study history 67 study English & 73 study maths. 34 study maths & history, 26 english & maths & 33 history & english

How many students study exactly two subjects.?
(M+P+C)-(M&P+P&C+M&C)+All=70
=> M&P+P&C+M&C = 40+35+30-70
=> M&P+P&C+M&C = 50
