Question

A collage awarded 38 medals in football,15 in basketball,and 20 in cricket,if these medals went to the total of 58 men and only 3men got medals in all the 3 items,how many received medals in exactly 2 of 3?​

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

by the question..

n(F)=38

n(B)=15

n(C)=20

n(F∪B∪C)=58

n(F∩B∩C)=3

We know, n(F∪B∪C)=n(F)+n(B)+n(C)−n(F∩B)−n(B∩C)−n(F∩C)+n(F∩B∩C)

n(F∩B)+n(B∩C)+n(C∩F)=73−58+3=18

the number of students who received medals in exactly two of the three

sports is,

n(F∩B)+n(B∩C)+n(C∩F)−3×n(F∩B∩C)=18−9=9,,

Answer 2

Answer:

Let F,B,C be the sets of students who received medals in football, basketball, and cricket respectively.

n(F)=38

n(B)=15

n(C)=20

n(F∪B∪C)=58

n(F∩B∩C)=3

We know, n(F∪B∪C)=n(F)+n(B)+n(C)−n(F∩B)−n(B∩C)−n(F∩C)+n(F∩B∩C)

n(F∩B)+n(B∩C)+n(C∩F)=73−58+3=18

the number of students who received medals in exactly two of the three

sports is,

n(F∩B)+n(B∩C)+n(C∩F)−3×n(F∩B∩C)=18−9=9
