Explanation
n(Total) = 50 n(Physics) = 40 n(Biology) = 30 Let n(Physics and Biology) = x n(Physics only) = 40 -x n(Biology only) = 30 - x 40 - x + 30 - x + x = 50 70 - x = 50 x = 20
n(Total) = 50 n(Physics) = 40 n(Biology) = 30 Let n(Physics and Biology) = x n(Physics only) = 40 -x n(Biology only) = 30 - x 40 - x + 30 - x + x = 50 70 - x = 50 x = 20THIS WEEK's
