Here's the Solution to this Question

Let T be the number of students who take at least one course. By the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle Theorem, T=s_{1}-s_{2}+s_{3}-s_{4} where:

\begin{array}{ll} s_{1}=12+20+20+8=60, & s_{2}=5+7+4+16+4+3=39, \\ s_{3}=3+2+2+3=10, & s_{4}=2 . \end{array}

Thus T=29, and N=71+T=100.
