Question

In a group of 60 students, 15 liked maths only, 20 liked science only and 5 did not liked any of two subjects. How many of them liked at least one subject?

Answer 1

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

n (A) = 15

n (B) = 20

Students who do not like any subject = 5

Hence, number of students who would like either both or either of the two subjects = 60-5 = 55

n (A or B) = n (A) + n (B) - n (A and B)

Number of students linking both the subjects

55 - 15-20

= 55-35 = 20

Number of students linking only one subject = 60-20-5 = 35
