52 Students and 8 Students

Let us assume M and S to be the number of students who likes the subjects math and science respectively.

Given:

Total number of students in the class = 60 students

Number of students who like math = 40 students

Number of students who like science = 36 students

Number of students who like both the subjects = 24 students

To Find:

Number of students who like either math or science = ?

Number of students who like neither math nor science = ?

Solving:

Calculating the number of students who only like the math subject:

=  n(M) - n(M∩S)

Substituting the values into this formula we get:

= 40 - 24

= 16 students

Calculating the number of students who like the science subject:

n(M U S)

=  n(M) + n(S) - n(M∩S)

Substituting the values into this formula we get:

=  40 + 36 - 24

= 52 students

Calculating the total number of students who like the math or science subject:

= n(M U S)

=  n(M) + n(S) - n(M∩S)

Substituting the values into this formula we get:

=  40 + 36 - 24

=  52  students

Therefore, the number of students who like math or science subjects is 52 students.

Calculating the number of students who do not like maths or science subjects:

= Total Number of students - Number of students who like math or science

Substituting the values into this formula we get:

=  60 - 52

=  8  students

Therefore, the number of students who like neither math nor science subjects is 8 students.
