The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the given data step by step and verify the two statements. ### Given Data: - Total students surveyed = 25 - Students taking Mathematics (M) = 15 - Students taking Physics (P) = 12 - Students taking Chemistry (C) = 11 - Students taking both Mathematics and Chemistry (M ∩ C) = 5 - Students taking both Mathematics and Physics (M ∩ P) = 9 - Students taking both Physics and Chemistry (P ∩ C) = 4 - Students taking all three subjects (M ∩ P ∩ C) = 3 ### Step 1: Calculate Students Taking Only One Subject 1. **Calculate students taking only Mathematics (M only)**: \[ M \text{ only} = M - (M \cap P) - (M \cap C) + (M \cap P \cap C) \] \[ M \text{ only} = 15 - 9 - 5 + 3 = 4 \] 2. **Calculate students taking only Physics (P only)**: \[ P \text{ only} = P - (P \cap M) - (P \cap C) + (M \cap P \cap C) \] \[ P \text{ only} = 12 - 9 - 4 + 3 = 2 \] 3. **Calculate students taking only Chemistry (C only)**: \[ C \text{ only} = C - (C \cap M) - (C \cap P) + (M \cap P \cap C) \] \[ C \text{ only} = 11 - 5 - 4 + 3 = 5 \] ### Step 2: Total Students Taking Only One Subject \[ \text{Total (only one subject)} = M \text{ only} + P \text{ only} + C \text{ only} = 4 + 2 + 5 = 11 \] ### Step 3: Calculate Students Taking Only Two Subjects 1. **Calculate students taking Mathematics and Physics only (M ∩ P only)**: \[ M \cap P \text{ only} = (M \cap P) - (M \cap P \cap C) = 9 - 3 = 6 \] 2. **Calculate students taking Mathematics and Chemistry only (M ∩ C only)**: \[ M \cap C \text{ only} = (M \cap C) - (M \cap P \cap C) = 5 - 3 = 2 \] 3. **Calculate students taking Physics and Chemistry only (P ∩ C only)**: \[ P \cap C \text{ only} = (P \cap C) - (M \cap P \cap C) = 4 - 3 = 1 \] ### Step 4: Total Students Taking Only Two Subjects \[ \text{Total (only two subjects)} = M \cap P \text{ only} + M \cap C \text{ only} + P \cap C \text{ only} = 6 + 2 + 1 = 9 \] ### Step 5: Verify the Statements 1. **Statement I**: The number of students who have taken only one subject is equal to the number of students who have taken only two subjects. - Only one subject = 11 - Only two subjects = 9 - **Result**: False (11 ≠ 9) 2. **Statement II**: The number of students who have taken at least two subjects is four times the number of students who have taken all three subjects. - Students taking at least two subjects = (M ∩ P only) + (M ∩ C only) + (P ∩ C only) + (M ∩ P ∩ C) = 6 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 12 - Four times the number of students taking all three subjects = 4 × 3 = 12 - **Result**: True (12 = 12) ### Conclusion - **Statement I** is false. - **Statement II** is true. ### Answer The correct option is **B**: Only the second statement is correct.
