Question

In a survey of 200 students from 7 different schools, 50 people do not play NFS, 40 people do not play dota and 10 people play no online game.Then find the no. of people out of 200 people who do not play both the games provided these are the only two games on offer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let M, P and C denote the students studying Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry

And U represents total students

So, n(U)=200,

n(M)=120,n(P)=90

n(C)=70,n(M∩P)=40,n(P∩C)=30

n(M∩C)=50,n(M∪P∪C)

′

=20

∴n(M∪P∪C)

′

=n(U)−n(M∪P∪C)

⇒20=200−n(M∪P∪C)

⇒n(M∪P∪C)=180

⇒n(M∪P∪C)=n(M)+n(P)+n(C)

−n(M∩P)−n(P∩C)−n(C∩M)+n(C∩M∩P)

∴180=120+90+70−40−30−50+n(C∩M∩P)

⇒180=280−120+n(C∩M∩P)

⇒n(P∩C∩M)=300−280=20
