Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students in class = 40

Let the number of students that like to eat rice only be x.

Let the number of students that like to eat chapatti only be y.

Students that like both rice and chapatti are = 40 – x – y

⇒ 40 – 8 – 16

⇒ 40 – 24

⇒ 16

∴ 16 students like both rice and chapatti.
