The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the number of students who have taken exactly one subject, we will use the principle of inclusion-exclusion and Venn diagrams. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Variables**: - Let \( n(M) = 43 \) (students studying Mathematics) - Let \( n(P) = 44 \) (students studying Physics) - Let \( n(C) = 39 \) (students studying Chemistry) - Let \( n(M \cap P) = 32 \) (students studying both Mathematics and Physics) - Let \( n(M \cap C) = 29 \) (students studying both Mathematics and Chemistry) - Let \( n(P \cap C) = 27 \) (students studying both Physics and Chemistry) - Let \( n(M \cap P \cap C) = 24 \) (students studying all three subjects) 2. **Calculate the Number of Students in Each Intersection**: - Students studying only Mathematics and Physics (but not Chemistry): \[ n(M \cap P) - n(M \cap P \cap C) = 32 - 24 = 8 \] - Students studying only Mathematics and Chemistry (but not Physics): \[ n(M \cap C) - n(M \cap P \cap C) = 29 - 24 = 5 \] - Students studying only Physics and Chemistry (but not Mathematics): \[ n(P \cap C) - n(M \cap P \cap C) = 27 - 24 = 3 \] 3. **Set Up the Equations for Students Studying Only One Subject**: - Let \( x \) be the number of students studying only Mathematics. - Let \( y \) be the number of students studying only Physics. - Let \( z \) be the number of students studying only Chemistry. From the total number of students studying Mathematics: \[ x + (n(M \cap P) - n(M \cap P \cap C)) + (n(M \cap C) - n(M \cap P \cap C)) + n(M \cap P \cap C) = n(M) \] \[ x + 8 + 5 + 24 = 43 \implies x + 37 = 43 \implies x = 6 \] From the total number of students studying Physics: \[ y + (n(M \cap P) - n(M \cap P \cap C)) + (n(P \cap C) - n(M \cap P \cap C)) + n(M \cap P \cap C) = n(P) \] \[ y + 8 + 3 + 24 = 44 \implies y + 35 = 44 \implies y = 9 \] From the total number of students studying Chemistry: \[ z + (n(M \cap C) - n(M \cap P \cap C)) + (n(P \cap C) - n(M \cap P \cap C)) + n(M \cap P \cap C) = n(C) \] \[ z + 5 + 3 + 24 = 39 \implies z + 32 = 39 \implies z = 7 \] 4. **Calculate the Total Number of Students Studying Exactly One Subject**: \[ \text{Total} = x + y + z = 6 + 9 + 7 = 22 \] ### Final Answer: The number of students who have taken exactly one subject is **22**.
