The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the information provided about the students who can speak Hindi and English. ### Step 1: Define the Sets Let: - \( U \) be the set of all students. - \( H \) be the set of students who speak Hindi. - \( E \) be the set of students who speak English. ### Step 2: Identify the Given Information From the problem, we know: - Total number of students \( |U| = 45 \) - Students who speak Hindi only \( |H| = 22 \) - Students who speak English only \( |E| = 12 \) - Students who speak both Hindi and English \( |H \cap E| = 2\lambda + 1 \) ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation The total number of students can be expressed as the sum of students who speak only Hindi, only English, and both languages: \[ |U| = |H| + |E| + |H \cap E| \] Substituting the known values: \[ 45 = 22 + 12 + (2\lambda + 1) \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Equation Combine the constants on the right side: \[ 45 = 34 + (2\lambda + 1) \] This simplifies to: \[ 45 = 35 + 2\lambda \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( \lambda \) Subtract 35 from both sides: \[ 45 - 35 = 2\lambda \] \[ 10 = 2\lambda \] Now, divide both sides by 2: \[ \lambda = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \] ### Final Answer The value of \( \lambda \) is \( 5 \). ---
