Answer:  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the event of that student pierces ear and N be the event of that student pierces nose.

Given: n(E\cup N=50)

n(E)=46\\\\n(N)=7

For any two event A and B, we have

n(A\cup B)=n(A)+n(B)-n(A\cap B)

Similarly , n(E\cup N)=n(E)+n(N)-n(E\cap N)

50=46+7-n(E\cap N)\\\\\Rightarrow\ n(E\cap N)=53-50=3

Hence, 3 students have piercings both on their ears and their noses.
