Question

In survey of 100 students in the institute of Language Studies at Addis Ababa University,

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 17

b. 30

c. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

English (E) = 28 - 15 (10+8-3) = 13

Amharic (A) = 30 - 10 (8+5-3) = 20

Afan Oromo (AO) = 42 - 12(10+5-3) = 30

E+AO = 10

E + A = 8

A + AO = 5

A + AO + E = 3

a. 13 people spoke just English+ 20 people who just spoke Amharic + 30 people who just spoke Afan Oromo+ The multilingual people (10+8+5-3=20) which is 83, so that means that 17 learned no language.

b. 42 People learned Afan Oromo, but only 30 of them learned that language separately. 10 People learned it along with English, and 5 learned it with Amharic. However, 3 of those people were the same, so 12 people of those 42 spoke multiple languages. Therefore, only 30 people spoke just Afan Oromo.

c. This one is kinda just a trick question, they want you to overthink it because of the 3 who learned all, but it's just 5 like it says in the question.
