Here's the Solution to this Question

Solution:

A piece of the given information is incorrect as the number of students 'English and Urdu' is given twice with different numbers. So, we assume, 4 is in Mathematics and Urdu, and 5 is in English and Urdu.

Notation:

U - Urdu, M - mathematics, E - english

Let the number of students interested in all 3 subjects be a.

Then, making its Venn diagram:



So, 12+a+4+a+2+a+6-a+4-a+5-a+a+15=50

\Rightarrow 47+a=50 \\\Rightarrow a=3

Thus, only 3 students are interested in all 3 subjects.

Now, Venn diagram with a = 3:
