Out of 100 students; 15 passed in English, 12 passed in Mathematics, 8 in Science, 6 in English and Mathematics, 7 in Mathematics and Science, 4 in English and Science, 4 in all the three. Find how many passed
(i) in English and Mathematics but not in Science.
(ii) in Mathematics and Science but not in English.
(iii) in Mathematics only.
(iv) in more than one subject only.
Let $M$ be the set of students who passed in Mathematics, $E$ be the set of students who passed in English and $S$ be the set of students who passed in Science.
Then,
$$\begin{aligned} n(u) & =100 \\ n(E)=15, n(M) & =12, n(S)=8, n(E \cap M)=6, n(M \cap S)=7, \\ n(E \cap S) & =4, \text { and } n(E \cap M \cap S)=4 \\ \because \quad n(E) & =15 \end{aligned}$$
$$\begin{array}{lr} \Rightarrow & a+b+e+f=15 \quad \text{.... (i)}\\ \text { and } & n(M)=12 \\ \Rightarrow & b+c+e+d=12 \quad \text{.... (ii)} \end{array}$$
Also, $$n(S)=8$$
$\Rightarrow \quad d+e+f+g=8$ ... (iii)
$n(E \cap M)=6$
$\Rightarrow \quad b+e=6$ .... (iv)
$n(M \cap S)=7$
$\Rightarrow \quad e+d=7$ .... (v)
$n(E \cap S)=4$
$\Rightarrow \quad e+f=4$ .... (vi)
$n(E \cap M \cap S)=4$
$\Rightarrow \quad e=4$ .... (vii)
From Eqs. (vi) and (vii), $$f=0$$
From Eqs. (v) and (vii), $d=3$
From Eqs. (iv) and (vii), $b=2$
On substituting the values of $d, e$ and $f$ in Eq. (iii), we get
$$\begin{aligned} 3+4+0+g & =8 \\ g & =1 \end{aligned}$$
On substituting the value of $b, e$ and $d$ in Eq. (ii), we get
$$\begin{array}{rlrl} & & 2+c+4+3 & =12 \\ \Rightarrow & c & =3 \end{array}$$
On substituting b, $e$, and $f$ in Eq. (i), we get
$$\begin{aligned} a+2+4+0 & =15 \\ a & =9 \end{aligned}$$
Alternate Method Let $E$ denotes the set of student who passed in English. $M$ denotes the set of students who passed in Mathematics. $S$ denotes the set of students who passed in Science.
Now,
$$\begin{aligned} n(U) & =100, n(E)=15, n(m)=12, n(S)=8 \\ n(E \cap M) & =6, n(M \cap S)=7 \\ n(E \cap S) & =4, n(E \cap M \cap S)=4 \end{aligned}$$
(i) Number of students passed in English and Mathematics but not in Science i.e.,
$$\begin{aligned} n\left(E \cap M \cap S^{\prime}\right) & =n(E \cap M)-n(E \cap M \cap S) \quad \left[\because A \cap B^{\prime}=A-(A \cap B)\right] \\ & =6-4=2 \end{aligned}$$
(ii) Number of students passed in Mathematics and Science but not in English.
$$\begin{aligned} \text { i.e., } \quad n\left(M \cap S \cap E^{\prime}\right) & =n(M \cap S)-n(M \cap S \cap E) \\ & =7-4=3 \end{aligned}$$
(iii) Number of students passed in mathematics only
$$\begin{aligned} \text { i.e., } \quad n\left(M \cap S^{\prime} \cap E^{\prime}\right) & =n(M)-n(M \cap S)-n(M \cap E)+n(M \cap S \cap E) \\ & =12-7-6+4=3 \end{aligned}$$
(iv) Number of students passed in more than one subject only
$$\begin{aligned} \text { i.e., } \quad n(E \cap M)+n(M & \cap S)+n(E \cap S)-3 n(E \cap M \cap S)+n(E \cap M \cap S) \\ & =6+7+4-4 \times 3+4 \\ & =17-12+4=5+4=9 \end{aligned}$$
In a class of 60 students, 25 students play cricket and 20 students play tennis and 10 students play both the games. Find the number of students who play neither.
Let $C$ be the set of students who play cricket and $T$ be the set of students who play tennis.
Then, $$n(U)=60, n(C)=25, n(T)=20, \text { and } n(C \cap T)=10$$
$$\therefore \quad n(C \cup T)=n(C)+n(T)-n(C \cap T)$$
$=25+20-10=35$
$$\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Number of students who play neither } & =n(U)-n(C \cup T) \\ & =60-35=25 \end{aligned}$$
In a survey of 200 students of a school, it was found that 120 study Mathematics, 90 study Physics and 70 study Chemistry, 40 study Mathematics and Physics, 30 study Physics and Chemistry, 50 study Chemistry and Mathematics and 20 none of these subjects. Find the number of students who study all the three subjects.
Let $M$ be the set of students who study Mathematics, $P$ be the set of students who study Physics and $C$ be the set of students who study Chemistry.
Then,
$$\begin{aligned} n(U) & =200, n(M)=120, n(P)=90 \\ n(C) & =70, n(M \cap P)=40, n(P \cap C)=30 \\ n(C \cap M) & =50, n\left(M^{\prime} \cap P^{\prime} \cap C^{\prime}\right)=20 \end{aligned}$$
$$\begin{aligned} & & n(U)-n(M \cup P \cup C) & =20, \\ & & n(M \cup P \cup C) & =200-20=180 \\ \because & & n(M \cup P \cup C) & =n(M)+n(P)+n(C)-n(C \cap M)+n(M \cap P \cap C) \\ \Rightarrow & & 180 & =120+90+70-40-30-50+n(M \cap P \cap C) \\ \Rightarrow & & 180 & =160+n(M \cap P \cap C) \\ \Rightarrow & & n(M \cap P \cap C) & =180-160=20 \end{aligned}$$
So, the number of students who study all the three subjects is 20.
In a town of 10000 families, it was found that $40 \%$ families buy newspaper $A, 20 \%$ families buy newspaper $B, 10 \%$ families buy newspaper $C, 5 \%$ families buy $A$ and $B, 3 \%$ buy $B$ and $C$ and $4 \%$ buy $A$ and $C$. If $2 \%$ families buy all the three newspaper. Find
(i) the number of families which buy newspaper $A$ only.
(ii) the number of families which buy none of $A, B$ and $C$.
Let $A$ be the set of families which buy newspaper $A, B$ be the set of families which buy newspaper $B$ and $C$ be the set of families which buy newspaper $C$.
Then,
$\begin{aligned} n(U) & =10000, n(A)=40 \% n(B)=20 \% \text { and } n(C)=10 \% \\ n(A \cap B) & =5 \% \\ n(B \cap C) & =3 \% \\ n(A \cap C) & =4 \% \\ n(A \cap B \cap C) & =2 \%\end{aligned}$
(i) Number of families which buy newspaper $A$ only
$$\begin{aligned} & =n(A)-n(A \cap B)-n(A \cap C)+n(A \cap B \cap C) \\ & =(40-5-4+2) \%=33 \% \\ 10000 \times 33 / 100 & =3300 \end{aligned}$$
(ii) Number of families which buy none of $A, B$ and $C$
$$\begin{aligned} = & n(U)-n(A \cup B \cup C) \\ = & n(U)-[n(A)+n(B)+n(C)-n(A \cap B)-n(B \cap C) \\ = & -n(A \cap C)+n(A \cap B \cap C)] \\ = & 100-[40+20+10-5-3-4+2] \\ = & 100-60\%=40\%\\ = & 10000 \times \frac{40}{100}=4000 \end{aligned}$$
In a group of 50 students, the number of students studying French, English, Sanskrit were found to be as follows French =17, English = 13, Sanskrit $=15$ French and English = 09, English and Sanskrit $=4$, French and Sanskrit = 5, English, French and Sanskrit $=3$. Find the number of students who study
(i) only French.
(ii) only English.
(iii) only Sanskrit.
(iv) English and Sanskrit but not French.
(v) French and Sanskrit but not English.
(vi) French and English but not Sanskrit.
(vii) atleast one of the three languages.
(viii) none of the three languages.
Let $F$ be the set of students who study French, $E$ be the set of students who study English and $S$ be the set of students who study Sanskrit.

$$\begin{aligned} n(U)=50, n(F) & =17, n(E)=13, \text { and } n(S)=15 \\ n(F \cap E) & =9, n(E \cap S)=4, n(F \cap S)=5 \\ n(F \cap E \cap S) & =3 \\ \because \quad n(F) & =17 \end{aligned}$$
$$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad a+b+e+f & =17 \quad \text{.... (i)}\\ n(E) & =13 \\ \Rightarrow \quad b+c+d+e & =13 \quad \text{.... (ii)}\\ n(S) & =15 \\ \Rightarrow \quad d+e+f+g & =15 \quad \text{.... (iii)}\\ n(F \cap E) & =9 \\ \Rightarrow \quad b+e & =9 \quad \text{.... (iv)}\\ n(E \cap S) & =4 \end{aligned}$$
$$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad e+d & =4 \quad \text{... (v)}\\ n(F \cap S) & =5 \\ \Rightarrow \quad f+e & =5 \quad \text{.... (vi)}\\ n(F \cap E \cap S) & =3 \\ \Rightarrow \quad e & =3\quad \text{.... (vii)} \end{aligned}$$
From Eqs. (vi) and (vii), $f=2$
From Eqs. (v) and (vii), $\quad d=1$
From Eqs. (iv) and (vii), $b=6$
On substituting the values of e, $f$ and $d$ in Eq. (iii), we get
