Here's the Solution to this Question

Let A be the event "children had forgotten to bring their physics book", B be the event "children had forgotten to do their homework".



Given N(A)=40,N(B)=34, N(A\cup B)=48

Then


N(A\cup B)=N(A)+N(B)-N(A\cap B)

N(A\cap B)=N(A)+N(B)-N(A\cup B)

N(A\cap B)=40+34-48=26

26 children had forgotten both.
