The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the problem step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the given information - Total number of students in the class = 35 - Number of students who opt for Maths (M) = 18 - Number of students who opt for Maths but not Science = 12 ### Step 2: Find the number of students who opt for both Maths and Science Let: - \( n(M) \) = Number of students who opt for Maths = 18 - \( n(M \cap S) \) = Number of students who opt for both Maths and Science - \( n(M \setminus S) \) = Number of students who opt for Maths but not Science = 12 Using the relationship: \[ n(M) = n(M \setminus S) + n(M \cap S) \] We can substitute the known values: \[ 18 = 12 + n(M \cap S) \] Now, solving for \( n(M \cap S) \): \[ n(M \cap S) = 18 - 12 = 6 \] ### Step 3: Find the number of students who opt for Science but not Maths Let: - \( n(S) \) = Number of students who opt for Science - \( n(S \setminus M) \) = Number of students who opt for Science but not Maths We know that: \[ n(M \cup S) = n(M) + n(S) - n(M \cap S) \] Where \( n(M \cup S) \) is the total number of students, which is 35. Substituting the known values: \[ 35 = 18 + n(S) - 6 \] Now, solving for \( n(S) \): \[ 35 = 12 + n(S) \] \[ n(S) = 35 - 12 = 23 \] Now, we can find the number of students who opt for Science but not Maths: \[ n(S \setminus M) = n(S) - n(M \cap S) \] \[ n(S \setminus M) = 23 - 6 = 17 \] ### Final Answers - Number of students who opt for both subjects (Maths and Science) = 6 - Number of students who opt for Science but not Maths = 17 ---
