Here's the Solution to this Question

Let

A is set of students who are taking French

B is set of students who are taking business

C is set of students who are taking music

U is set of all students

Then we have:

|U|=191, |A|=65, |B|=76, |C|=63

|A|\bigcap B|=36, |A|\bigcap C|=20, |B|\bigcap C|=18

|U|=|A|+|B|+|C|-|A\bigcap B|-|A\bigcap C|-|B\bigcap C|+|A\bigcap B\bigcap C|

|A\bigcap B\bigcap C|=191-65-76-63+36+20+18=61

But |A\bigcap B\bigcap C|\leq18

So, let |A\bigcap B\bigcap C|=10

Then:


Who are taking French and music but not business:

|A\bigcap C|-|A\bigcap B \bigcap C|=20-10=10

Who are taking business and neither French nor music:

|B|-|B|\bigcap C|-|A|\bigcap B|+|A\bigcap B \bigcap C|=76-18-36+10=22

Who are taking French or business (or both):

|A|+|B|-|A|\bigcap B|=95+76-36=135

Who are taking music or french (or both) but not business:

|A|+|C|-|A|\bigcap B|-|B|\bigcap C|+|A\bigcap B \bigcap C|=65+63-36-18+10=84

Who are taking none of the three subjects:

|U|-(|A|+|B|+|C|-|A\bigcap B|-|A\bigcap C|-|B\bigcap C|+|A\bigcap B\bigcap C|)=

=191-65-76-63+36+20+18-10=51
