Answer:20

Step-by-step explanation:

is the number of students who had Milk(M) only;

is the number of students who had Tea(T) only;

is the number of students who had Coffee(C) only;

is the number of students who had Milk(M)&Coffee(C) but no Tea(T);

is the number of students who had Milk(M)&Tea(T) but no Coffee(C);

is the number of students who had Tea(T)&Coffee(C) but no Milk(M);

is the number of students who had all the three drinks Milk(M), Coffee(C), Tea(T).

To find the number of students who did not take any of the drink we have to take away students

who take any of the drink from 100 students.

Students who take any of the drink:

= 12, = 5, = 8.

= 10.

= 20 − = 20 − 10 = 10.

= 25 − = 25 − 10 = 15.

= 30 − = 30 − 10 = 20.

Number of students who take any of the drink= + + + + + + =

= 12 + 5 + 8 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 10 = 80.

Number of students who did not take any of the drink= 100 − 80 = 20.

Answer:

80 students take ATMOST TWO OF THESE THREE DRINKS

Step-by-step explanation:

M∩C∩T = 10

M∩C = 20

C∩T = 30

M∩T = 25

M only = 12

C only =  5

T only = 8

MUCUT = M only + C only + T only  + M∩C + C∩T + M∩T - M∩C∩T

  = 12 + 5 + 8 + 20 + 30 + 25 - 10

  = 90

90 students who take atleast any drink

10 students are there who take all drinks

so

Students who take ATMOST TWO OF THESE THREE DRINKS = MUCUT  - M∩C∩T

= 90 - 10

= 80

80 students take ATMOST TWO OF THESE THREE DRINKS
