a. 15 students are members of both clubs

b. 50 students only are members of the mathematics club

c. 25 students only are members of the physics club

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • There are 100 students
  • 65 are members of a mathematics club
  • 40 are members of a physics club
  • 10 are members of neither club

We need to find how many students are members of

a. both clubs?

b. only mathematics club

c. only physics club

∵ The total number of students = 100

∵ 10 are members of neither club

- Subtract 10 from 100 to find the members of the mathematics

  club or the physics club

∵ 100 - 10 = 90

∴ There are 90 members of the mathematics club or physics club

∴ n(mathematics or physics) = 90

∵ 65 students are members of a mathematics club

∵ n(mathematics) = 65

∵ 40 students are members of a physics club

∴ n(physics) = 40

∵ n(mathematics or physics) = n(mathematics) + n(physics) - n(both)

∴ 90 = 65 + 40 - n(both)

∴ 90 = 105 - n(both)

- Add n(both) to each side

∴ n(both) + 90 = 105

- Subtract 90 from each side

∴ n(both) = 15

∴ 15 students are members of both clubs

a. 15 students are members of both clubs

∵ 65 students are members of the mathematics club

∵ 15 of them are members of the physics club

∴ n(mathematics only) = 65 - 15 = 50

∴ 50 students only are members of the mathematics club

b. 50 students only are members of the mathematics club

∵ 40 students are members of the physics club

∵ 15 of them are members of the mathematics club

∴ n(physics only) = 40 - 15 = 25

∴ 25 students only are members of the physics club

c. 25 students only are members of the physics club
